Description of the policy/measure
Promotes the access, through the cubarte network, of different cultural institutions, national centres, institutes and other centres, workers of cultural institutions, writers and artists as outstanding figures of our culture. this is of particular importance for persons who live in isolated or remote areas, since only a telephone line is needed to gain access to this service. connectivity to the network is offered mainly through dial-up connection or through adsl. in the case of institutions, it is mostly provided through adsl, or through an optical fibre connection, with a greater bandwidth.
