PurposeAssures people’s right to access telecom services in remote areas, including voice and data

In 2007, “Broadband for Villages” policy was completed - provides 2Mbps broadband for all villages

In 2008, “Broadband for Tribes” reached 100% coverage nationwide in 2010

Since 2012, broadband upgrading implementation from 2Mbps to 12Mbps has been carried out

By 2015Estimating 95% Broadband Upgrading coverage in remote areas

Conclusion

15

Broadband policy should consider the overall ICT and services trends, besides actively encouraging fixed and mobile broadband networks deployment.

The government must realize the opportunity coming with emerging convergence technologies and review the influence and impact on a regular basis.

To effectively bridge the digital divide between remote areas and meet the rapid growth of ICT service demand, the government should regularly review the broadband access speed.

A close cooperation between the government, telecommunication operators, NGOs, and community development associations is important for promoting universal ICT services.
