This measure would be implemented with the collaboration of the Ministry of Economic Development, Tourism and Employment, which wants the special economic interest areas, such as industrial estates, have access to the Internet via ultra-fast broadband.
To this end, a study has started in all municipalities in the region to identify areas lacking this infrastructure, including the Totana, willing to join this initiative.
