Telecentre-Based Community Wireless Networks
Dorothy Okello, Julius Butime · IGI Global eBooks · 2013
This chapter shares the experiences of the Community Wireless Resource Centre (CWRC) as it embarked on the journey to address affordable connectivity for four telecentres in rural and underserved Uganda via telecentre-based community wireless networks. Telecentres have long played a key role in availing access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and in supporting the provision of universal access. With falling prices and new technologies increasing individual access to ICTs, the telecentre-based community wireless networks need to continually innovate in order to remain relevant to both the telecentres and the partners that together comprise the community wireless networks.
