Why would e-Care work?
Empirical evidence: Entrepreneur-run business centers (BCs) are providing, at affordable rates:
•Voice telephony
•Internet connectivity
•Online content
•Value-added services
RE-powered BCs being proposed under eCARE can serve 3,000 - 5,000 customers
Small entrepreneurs can reach urban and peri-urban customers

But: small entrepreneurs serving telecoms markets need...
•Start-up or growth capital
•Business support services
•Supportive regulatory and policy framework
•Reliable power supplies
•Network access
