Government grants free internet to homes of uni students

Greece’s Digital Policy Minister Nikos Pappas along with Education Minister Kostas Gavroglou announced on Friday the provision of a monthly internet access grant for 72,000 first year university students.

"It is a great pleasure to provide technology for everyone. We will offer free internet even to the remote islands," Pappas said.

Pappas said that subsidy which covers 80% of the cost of the internet programmes,  will not burden the tax payers as the funds are provided by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission.

The President of the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission Panagiotis Tsanakas said that the subsidy will apply for 12 months. The aim is to have all students registered to the programme by October this year.
