                    [Summary] => President Arroyo is set to authorize the setting up of "telecenters" in 255 of the country’s 1,520 towns that still have no access to modern communications.


Transportation and Communications Secretary Pantaleon Alvarez said yesterday each telecenter will have a telephone line, a personal computer, a scanner, a printer or copier, and a modem for Internet connection.


"We have not completely ruled out the plan to set up telephone facilities in every barangay but at this time, we are focusing on the municipal level," he said.

DOTC officials said that unlike previous drafts that included the establishment of payphones in barangays, this time, the program will only be limited to municipal telecenters and the establishment of telecenters in order to fasttrack the project.
