Telecentre enthusiasts should focus more on making real change on the ground with tedious relentless efforts rather than just being invovled in self-praising. Once you have got the stories of real change, not just made for photo show or video show, then the network like this would help us to know them and act on them. The attack on you, the telecentre enthusiasts would be severe and merciless very soon, if you do not address the root causes of success or failure.

I hope ATPN will be an exception from the rhetoric.

Ananya, the network can be as effective as we, as a group of enthusiasts, are willing to make it be. This is the space for sharing these ideas and it is open to all. We discussed several important issues during the Telecentre Forum/eASIA 2008: innovation at the grassroot level and the role of telecentres in fostering it, the link between the location of telecentres (a continuous from urban to rural) and its business model and what that can tell us about sustainability, the need for better indicators related to telecentres and their social and economic impact in supporting policy debate, etc. Perhaps we should use this space to further continue such discussions.

Hello Freire,
It is good that we join this network to collaborate more on expriences in Asia Pacific. I remember living in the islands of Maldives and the challenges of communication there is so immense due to marine life. I am not sure if we have telecenters in the Maldives but I remember promoting women ICT centers in some islands and worked very well.

I hope to get more as we collaborate

Dear Yapa,
Possible solutions in developing ICT skills in the Asia Pacific region. As I elaborated in my previus mails, the type of training will realy depend on the ICT skills status of the local people you want to train. Assuming that many have had no access to basic ICT skills, you have to start in phases from the begining targeting specifc groups of people.
