Cabinet has approved a request by the Ministry of Public Telecommunications to enter into an agreement with the Huawei Technologies Company of China to conduct a feasibility study for a countrywide internet connection project.
Speaking at this week’s post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday, Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman said that the company will be performing “a comprehensive needs assessment in order to develop scope for the establishment of a nationwide broadband network or Smart Guyana project.”
The assessment, he explained, will examine the level of effort and financing required as well as the considerations for information system application at all levels of government.
