Information about the project
20 years of public policy in ICT
San Luis 3.0
The strategic vision regarding the scientific and technological revolution that has changed the lives of the world's inhabitants has been strongly expressed in San Luis, where, since 2010, the Government has provided free connectivity in all cities and towns of its territory (76,748 km²), and from 2011 onwards, the right to Digital Inclusion was included in its Constitution. During the last two decades, San Luis government generated and improved its technological infrastructure and established regulations to improve free access to broadband communication services for all its inhabitants. The provincial administration (the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches) was digitized, helping municipal administrations to achieve the same objective. By means of different plans, it reached every household with -at least- one device. During 2008 the purchase value of computers or network devices was taken as a tax credit to pay taxes. Since 2009, the "All Kids on the Net" plan provides public and private elementary school students and their teachers with devices, computers and now tablets. During this year they also delivered 122,500 tablets to retirees and pensioners, children in the 1st and 2nd grade of primary school, beneficiaries of various social plans, teachers and administrators, health workers and police officers. The population of San Luis reaches 450,000 inhabitants. The free distribution of a smart card with NFC technology that allows San Luis residents to digitally sign with PKI from mobile devices enables interaction between people, businesses and government. Children, young people, adults and senior citizens were trained in the use of different applications, which has ensured that Internet penetration is increasing and now exceeds 95%.
