10,000 tablets to be delivered
The Information and Communications Technology Ministry said yesterday that the government will receive the delivery of 10,000 tablet computers tomorrow.
Captain Suraphol Navamawat, an adviser to the ICT minister, said Shenzhen Scope Scientific Development is aiming to deliver all 400,000 tablets by August 18.
Meanwhile, the ICT Ministry has changed the customs documents to show that the tablets were bought by the Education Ministry as educational tools so the import tax can be waived.
The arrival schedule of the 10,000 tablets was postponed from today to tomorrow, because the site where they are meant to be stored was not ready, he added.
From next month, the supplier will ship 12,288 tablets every day for four days a week. Another contract for buying 500,000 more tablet computers has already been signed, and the company will start sending them one week after the initial order of 400,000 tablets has been completed, Suraphol said.
