“The growing interest in the new technologies shown by the inhabitants of the communities with limited access to such technologies is a proof of their desire to know and to socialize, as well as of the vital necessity of communications in each person’s development”, Dan Georgescu, the President of ANRCTI, declared, after visiting the telecentres of Maguri, Cluj county.

The operator offered free of charge access to services on the day of the official launch, and will further charge tariffs which will be affordable for the inhabitants.
