Free internet for low-income Thai households in pipeline
Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister Chaiwut Thanakhamanusorn has revealed progress on moves to widen internet access for Thais on low income.
Options discussed at a ministry meeting on Thursday included giving free internet access to poor households, Chaiwut said.
The ministry is waiting for approval to appoint a working group that will push the internet as a key tool for reducing socio-economic inequality, which has worsened during the Covid-19 crisis.
