More PC rooms in barracks.
(From The Korea Herald)
By Joo Sang-min By 2006, all the nation's soldiers will be able to communicate with their parents and friends via e-mail from Internet PC rooms set up at all 7,000 company-level military units, the Defense Ministry said yesterday. The ministry, in a morale-boosting move, earmarked about nine billion won ($7.5 million) annually to maintain Internet training rooms, which will be equipped with various security programs. The main server PC and each company commander will block access to obscene sites and military intelligence material.
The project to set up Internet training rooms and PC rooms will also enable soldiers to learn foreign languages and help them to acquire licenses they need to enter the job market after they complete their mandatory 24-month military service, ministry official Lee Sun-keun said.
The ministry will complete setting up the infrastructure to provide seven Internet-service computers at each company-level unit by 2006 and will expand the Internet lines to 16 by 2008. Eventually, about 600,000 enlisted soldiers from privates to sergeants will be able to enjoy the Internet.
