Case Studies on Developments of the Internet in Latin America: Unexpected Results

摘要

Through the Hemisphere Wide Inter-University Scientific and Technological Information Network (RedHUCyT) project, the Organization of American States (OAS) helped local initiatives in the member states in either the creation or expansion of networks in their countries. Through the years, RedHUCyT became a major contributing force for the development of the Internet in Latin America and the Caribbean region. Many country connections to the Internet were established for the first time through the project's sponsorship. The project provides high-tech equipment, technical support and specialized training.
