The promise then was to introduce new technology such as broadband wireless service, and a mobile telephone system - to be used in rural areas.
Today, the Taiwanese government was living up to its promise when it officially inaugurated a new WIFI infrastructure and IP Telephone system.
The center was constructed through the assistance of the government of Taiwan and its International Cooperation and Development Fund. The Center which is located on Mountain View Boulevard, in Belmopan City is expected to provide education and training courses as well as cultivating quality human resources to aid the e-Government program of Belize. It is also expected to develop, implement and host software applications for Departments and Agencies of the Government of Belize.
