Ukrtelecom in July plans to connect residents of 65 localities to broadband Internet as part of the implementation of the project to develop the optical network using GPON technology. The first connections under the project for the development of the optical network in 300 small localities started a month and a half earlier than planned, according to the operator’s website.
“At the first stage, works on the construction of the optical network are carried out in 16 regions: Zaporizhia, Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Khmelnytsky, Chernivtsi, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kherson, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy and Chernihiv, where already 40% of the network has been laid, which is more than 220 kilometers. By the end of July, it is planned to build almost 600 km of the optical network in total,” the operator said.
According to the plans of Ukrtelecom, thousands of residents of 65 localities after connecting to the service will be able to receive Internet at speeds up to 200 Mbit per second, as well as use additional teleservices, in particular, Internet telephony and interactive television.
The company said that in 26 of the 65 localities connected, there was still no Internet.

The average bill of a foreign patient who is treated in Ukrainian clinics, is $2,000-2,500, not taking into account transport and accommodation costs, the Ukrainian Association of Medical Tourism (UAMT) said at a roundtable devoted to medical tourism in Ukraine, the situation with it and its prospects held in Kyiv last week.
According to UAMT, currently in Ukraine, about 120 clinics in different regions of Ukraine receive foreign patients.

She said that the leaders in receiving foreign patients in Ukraine are reproductive clinics.

Electronic customs in Ukraine could be launched approximately in a year, Maksym Nefyodov, appointed head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine, has said.
“Electronic customs could begin work approximately in a year. We needed nearly a year to launch the ProZorro system and about a year to launch the ProZorro.Sale system. These terms, it seems to me, are quite real,” he said during the introduction of head of Lviv Regional State Administration Markiyan Malsky on Saturday, asked by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to Nefyodov, there is funding for the project, “as well as specialists for its implementation.”
