Before 2009, ANTEL expects to replace all Ruralcel devices that currently provide low speed Internet with the purpose of improving the network access for the customers from rural areas, as the vice-president of the State telephony, Edgardo Carvallo, said to the newspaper La República.
The officer informed that they are also considering the possibility of laying another submarine cable to Argentina to increase the connection to the rest of the world, all of that with the purpose of turning Uruguay into a digital country and of implementing the Ceibal Plan with success.
