Rural Public Access Centres - Background
Presentation

• Accessing the Information Society (IS), means a
  great opportunity to improve peoples 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.
