Regions 1, 7 and 8 expected to get online before end of year – Hughes

Public Telecommunications Minister, Catherine Hughes says that before the end of the year, Region One (Barima-Waini), Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) and Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) are expected to have internet access.

Hughes yesterday told the Department of Public Information that Information and Communications Technology (ICT) hubs were not established in those three regions due to their remoteness, however, she noted that it is the goal of the Ministry to provide communities there with a level of access before the close of the year.
