Increasing number of mobile and internet users
Monday, 23 March 2015
It is good to observe that the number of internet users is increasing in our country and within the next five years the number will rise manifold. Now around 75.0 per cent of our population is connected to mobile phone network and soon the number will be close to 100 per cent which is a big achievement for any country. Surely the internet and mobile technology have brought revolution in our country. Life has become easier for people who are living in rural areas in more senses than one. Everyone is connected through the mobile network and it has been a blessing for the economic and social development.
The government should reduce the prices of internet so that the common people can use this technology and enjoy its benefits. The price of the internet is still high compared to our neighbouring countries, which discourages more people to avail of internet facilities. Mobile and the internet help people acquire knowledge. As we surf on the internet, we are able to gather information on any subject. Our mobile phone operators have been doing a wonderful job and I am sure in future the standard of their service will increase and improve further to encourage more and more people to use internet technology.
