To make people in remote areas able to access the Internet and to receive good services from e-government, the RDEC began to develop information and Internet services in remote areas since 1999. In May 2002, the Executive Yuan established a ”Challenge 2008-National Development Plan”. Under this Plan, the RDEC is in charge of the implementation of the ”Project for Information Services in Remote Areas”. This Project is aimed to alleviate the digital divide in remote areas. It builds telecenters providing Internet access service, and promotes on line services in remote areas.
