New Rural Internet Point in Buenavista del Norte
Continuing the current race to connect rural areas to the internet, the municipal library, which is located opposite the church in the Plaza de los Remedios in Buenavista del Norte now has a rural internet point.
Under the "Internet Rural" project, promoted by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Tenerife Island Corporation and Buenavista Town Hall, the objective is to bring new technology closer to the people.
"Internet Rural" was created to promote the use of new technology and communications in disfavored areas with difficult access. The network of telecenters provides the tools, for those who live in rural areas, to be able to connect to the internet via broadband.
Priority of use is given to those using the internet for work, study and job searches.
This new center, which is free, is open Mondays to Fridays, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., can be used by anyone over the age of 12, although minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Telecenters have already recently been opened in the area in Las Portelas; in the Los Pedregales complex in El Palmar; in the Youth and Occupational Center in Buenavista and in the hamlet of Teno Alto. Another center is due to be opened in the village of Masca in the next few months, once a dish has been installed to allow connection via satellite.
