Vaz promises Internet for all by 2025

December 16, 2020 Minister of Technology Daryl Vaz has announced an ambitious plan to have all houses in Jamaica connected to the Internet in just over four years. Stating that the Government will make access to the Internet a public good , Vaz yesterday told Parliament that the aim is to have every household, every community connected by 2025 . Internet penetration in Jamaica stood at 55 per cent in January 2020. Vaz yesterday said that attainment of nationwide Internet penetration is tied to the establishment of a National Broadband Network, which is projected to cost US$237 million. The funding options are being explored but the country can ill-afford to delay or abandon this strategy, Vaz said.
