Poor Mountainous Province Get Access to Internet

A batch of 80 computers and 10 printers has been provided for Vietnam’s northern mountainous province of Bac Kan on July 7, helping the poor province get access to the Internet. The batch is part of a programme, PCs for Life, launched by the Ministry of Information and Communications at the World Information Technology Forum 2009 (WITFOR 2009). So far, nearly 1,150 computers, 150 printers and other devices have been offered to 19 provinces and cities nationwide. Other beneficiaries of the program are blind societies, centers for disabled people and border guards.
