“ Thanks to the support of the authorities of the Regional Government of Cajamarca , we are implementing our EPAD initiative in 90 squares or public spaces , which will be a tool for more Peruvians to be digitally connected ,” said Velarde Ortiz , Executive Director of Pronatel .
He added that this experience is expected to be replicated by implementing EPAD near educational institutions , which will additionally benefit students , who will be able to use all the available tools , such as the material available in the repository or virtual library , in addition to browsing the Internet .
Another development is that selected towns of Cajamarca will soon have a Digital Access Center ( CAD ).
“ At the CAD , they will be accompanied by a community digital leader , who will provide the necessary support so that the citizens who attend can develop digital skills that allow their economic and social development ,” said Ortiz .
More than 12,000 citizens of the provinces of Jaén and San Ignacio , in the Cajamarca region of Peru , can connect to high-speed Internet , via Wi-Fi , thanks to the Digital Access Public Spaces ( EPAD ) initiative of the National Telecommunications Program ( Pronatel ).
