According to reports in various national newspapers (Listin Diario and Hoy), over the next few days new antennas will be mounted in various locations throughout Puerto Plata province, which will then become the first province in the country to receive free Internet. Initially it will just be nine towns (including Puerto Plata) with free Internet, but the rest of the province should follow quickly.
' The motivating force behind this project is Senator dr. Francis Vargas. The main purpose of this project is to allow students to learn about this new media. Part of the educational curriculum will soon be followed via the Internet. But companies will also be able to benefit from this 'Free Internet' project. The proposal does not state exactly when Sosúa will also be able to enjoy free Internet.
