Presently, the Himalayan country accesses internet using Indian bandwidth through Bhairahawa, Birgunj and Biratnagar. It is reported that with Chinese firms offering services, Nepali people will now have alternatives to choose from alongside Indian firms. The work of laying optical fiber on the Chinese side has resumed in full paces The locals would not face any hurdles in accessing Google and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter as the country is planning to buy bandwidth from Hong Kong instead of mainland China.
