an interest in conduction of the works in this direction is pleasing,"

residents to make use of their services, the state in its turn is
concerned with the establishment of information society, which will
contribute to the development of the economy.

and apply their experience in the development of the IT sphere in
the provinces.

been suggested to implement a pilot project of internet spread in a
village of a province.
