To date through the National Telecommunications Program Pronatel nine institutions have been operative and connected to satellite Internet. In this regard the Minister of Transportation and Communications Paola Lazarte Castillo stressed that this initiative allows more Peruvians to access satellite Internet service for the first time especially in remote areas and the border with Brazil.
