During the past few years the government 70-631 has attempted to increase access to ICTs by rebuilding infrastructure to improve connectivity, encouraging "Free Internet" programs that allow internet access for the cost of an ordinary telephone call, and promoting competition 70-561 among ISPs to lower prices. In 2004, the government set up an initiative to encourage widespread computer use 642-436 by removing customs fees and creating the Family PC concept, according to which each family should own a personal 220-601 computer. Authorities set a price ceiling for computer hardware and established programs offering loans at low interest rates for families to purchase the necessary equipment. The program also provided an internet subscription with every computer sold. Unfortunately, the project did not achieve the intended results because computer prices remained prohibitively high—about 700 dinars, or three times the minimum monthly salary—even with the government incentives. Although many people are unable to connect at home, the government claims that universities, research centers, laboratories, and high schools have a 100 percent connectivity rate, and that primary schools are 70 percent connected
