Internet caravan
In mid-March, 2002, the Mauritanian government gave a bustling send-off to its new Internet caravan to introduce the Internet to rural communities. It is travelling through the Hodh El Chargi region, near the border with Mali and is set to continue for several months. Wherever it passes, free Internet sessions are offered to allcomers. Mauritania or Mauret@nie.mr as it calls itself online - established full Internet connectivity in 1997 but the volume of subscribers remains very low a problem being addressed by establishing permanent uplink services in rural centres.
