Turkey to give e-mail addresses to each of its 70 million citizens, including infants
Turkey's Informational Technology Watchdog today announced its intentions to give an e-mail address to each of its 70 million citizens. The project, called Anaposta, has reportedly already been developed and tested and will allocate a 10GB storage quota to its entire population, with ambitions to build an email network to match its current mobile network.
"Every child will have an email address written on his/her identity card since birth" said Tayfun Acarer, chairman of Turkey's Information Technologies and Communications Authority Board.
It is part of a broader project that involves developing an internet search engine that is scheduled to be launched in 2010.
"I believe that our search engine will be popular in Turkic countries and Muslim countries and I am confident that these countries will trust our search engine," Acarer said.
