Two steps have been initiated to carry out the project effectively. The first step is to help government agencies build a presence on the Internet through setting up their Web sites. So far, this phase has been successful, with more than 70% of government agencies having established their Web sites by the end of 2001. As shown in Table 26, domain names under gov.cn have experienced a steady increase from 340 in March 1997 to 4,784 in March 2001.
