Some 1200 residents of Kangaruma, Tassarene, and Isseneru in Region Seven are now accessing high-speed internet connectivity, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said in a press release on Monday.
According to the DPI release, this achievement was made possible after the Office of the Prime Minister, through the National Data Manage-ment Authority (NDMA), successfully installed the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite internet services in the three Middle Mazaruni communities.
DPI said that residents in these communities will now be able to browse the internet to access government services and attend online classes including persons who are pursuing their tertiary education remotely through the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE), University of Guyana (UG), and the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL) scholarship programme.
