In celebration of National Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Month, the United States government, through the US Agency for International Development (USAid), launched three community internet networks in Butuan City that enabled more than 600 farmers to access the internet for the first time.

In partnership with Kacific Broadband Satellites and local internet service provider Stellarsat Solutions, Inc., USAid on June 1 deployed three satellite terminals valued at P355,000 to benefit the members of the KM7 Farmers Producers Cooperative (KFPC) in Sitio Kauswagan, Sitio San Roque, and Sitio Tud-ol in Butuan City.
