Dear Andy:
"To me, telecentres, telecottages, CTCs, etc, provided added value beyond
a PC connected by a wire (or a signal) to the Internet. It's their
people, their educational courses, their community activities, their
civic engagement, and their neighborhood leadership that make them a
telecentre. I think in an ideal world, we would all have equitable,
ubiquitous access to the Internet at home and wirelessly, but even if we
did, telecentres would still serve as community institutions in which
people could come together to get hands-on training, learn about new
technologies, co-produce community content, and other activities you
would associate with a non-ICT community center, but in an ICT context."
That is a good definition. A telecentre must be embedded in the overall development context.
