Based on the above comments, it can be summarized that UT has various
kinds of internet-based application . These applications have not yet optimally

been used by the students and Regional Offices because of limited connection .
During this period, the students have difficulties in accessing UT website ,

because UT communication bandwidth is not appropriate. It is expected that after
this program has been carried out, the students can be facilitated to access UT

online services and that information provided and delivered by UT can be
immediately accepted by the students. By connection facil ities in Regional

Offices, it is expected that the students can access UT from the Regional Office
with comfort, low cost and easier connection.
