Seamless connectivity for villages

     To meet the demand for high-speed broadband services in remote areas of Hong Kong, the Government launched the Subsidy Scheme to Extend Fibre-based Networks to Villages in Remote Areas where, at present, about 80,000 villagers in more than 160 villages are benefitting from such networks.

     Apart from interviewing a representative from the Office of the Communications Authority to learn more about the scheme's effectiveness, news.gov.hk spoke with Tai O and Mui Wo villagers who expounded on the advantages they are receiving.
