Presentation

Rural Public Access Centres - Background

Accessing the Information Society (IS), means a great opportunity to improve people’s quality of life

Nevertheless, it could be a reason for discrimination due to the difference of opportunities for people depending on their possibility to access the Internet

Lack of broadband access by terrestrial technologies in remote and rural areas remains an unsolved issue mainly due to profitability reasons.
