THE Nsawam Municipality, one of the densely populated areas in the Eastern Region, has now been covered with the Ghana Telecom (GT) Broadband 4U, an internet facility.
The facility which was inaugurated at Nsawam last Thursday would enable users, either for domestic or commercial purpose, to access uninterrupted information on the Internet on a 24-hour basis.
Under the initiative, a mechanism had been put in place for educational institutions that would acquire the facility to access only materials that would be beneficial to pupils and students.
Inaugurating the facility, the Eastern Regional Manager of GT, Nii Amaa Fleisher-Brock, said under a programme, the facility would be extended to all parts of the region and such towns as Abetifi, Nkawkaw, Mpraeso, Akim Oda and the Kwahu North District (Afram Plains) as some of the areas that would soon be covered.
He appealed to the public to help arrest all those who had been stealing the company’s cables to enable it render good services to the public.
GT, he said, had made available between GH¢500 and GH¢1000 to reward any person who would offer information that would lead to the apprehension of the cable thieves.
GT’s Broadband Manager, Mr Kingsley Seme, explained the technicalities of the facility could be used by people with or without fixed telephone lines.
To ensure that both the poor and the rich would have access to the facility, he said GT had come out with a modality under which one could access the facility from the lowest sum of GH¢40 or more per month, depending on one’s financial standing.
