British Telecommunications Plc. will soon announce special cheap rates for Internet calls to lure more customers onto the Web.

According to the Guardian, this would be the first time BT had made a distinction between an Internet telephone call and a voice phone call.

The report said that BT's planned move follows pressure from the government which has been keen to see more Britons using the Internet.

The government recently decided to put more computers in schools to create a computer-literate generation in Britain, where the proportion of Web users is still far lower than in the United States and some Scandinavian countries.
