Why Internet Access is Essential?
Internet became primary sources of news due to the remoteness of the village.
The nurses use the Internet to search for medical and pharmaceutical information.
Farmers use the Internet to find crop disease information.
Tourists can send e-mail, update their travel blogs, and upload photos.
Tourist guides use e-mail to communicate with their clients and to get referrals.
Internet chat and VoIP to communicate with friends and families.
