Thimphu - The secluded Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, a country without a road to the outside world 40 years ago, yesterday logged on to the information superhighway after a traditional Buddhist ceremony of monks' chants and auspicious offerings. Queen Ashi Dorgi Wangmo Wangchuk hit a keyboard command releasing an image on terminal screens of unfolding scarves to open Druk Net, Bhutan's Internet service provider, and sent an e-mail greeting to Bhutanese students and missions abroad.
The website for Druk Net is www.druknet.net.bt and there is an information site on www.nic.bt
