Peru Mtc Promotes Tender

In dialogue with the Informative Bulletin Connecting Peoples the Vice Minister of Communications Fredy Tito Chura pointed out that the rural populations of deep Peru are the beneficiaries by the Governments provision. In this regard Tito Chura explained that it is the Todos Conectados plan that is developed through three infrastructure and Internet connection projects such as the Digital Access Center Digital Access Public Spaces and Conecta Selva all of them in the most vulnerable areas of the country. The impact of this project is immense. At Conecta Selva we have already completed for example the implementation of 1269 public institutions in the regions of Amazonas Loreto Madre de Dios and Ucayali which means significant progress he stressed. Meanwhile another project that the sector has been working on is the Emergency Decree initiative to connect 13010 educational institutions with which more than 430000 students will have access to the Internet in the most remote areas of the country. The Vice Minister of Communications said that if approved it could be launched in August of this year and would last until April or May 2023 which will mean an investment of S 2 million. On the other hand when referring to the issue of the Fiber Optic Backbone Network the Vice Minister of Communications assured that it is connecting 180 provincial capitals and the MTC projects some 18 regional networks of which to date 6 already are operational another 7 will be ready by the end of 2022. Meanwhile the remaining 5 will be added next year. Finally the Deputy Minister of Communications highlighted the importance of connectivity in these times. Today with this pandemic we have realized that connectivity is important. We are contributing so that all the most remote locations in our country have the same opportunities in access to information as the rest of the country. If we have an opportunity for information then we can access health education and freedom of opinion he specified.
