Free internet services for communities between Lautoka and Ba

Hundreds of people in surrounding communities between Lautoka and Ba will be provided with free internet service as another Government's Telecentre was opened today by Acting Prime Minister and Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

The telecentre at Nukuloa School will be used by school children during school hours and by the rest of the community after hours and on weekends.

Many ordinary villagers and farmers who have never had internet access before will now be able to also use web chat services such as Skype to speak to their relatives and friends living in other parts of Fiji and overseas.

The Attorney General said the centre was the first to be opened this year and another seven would open at various other locations around the country in the coming weeks.
