Tele-centres as a way of achieving universal access--the case of Ghana

Morten Falch and Amos Anyimadu

Telecommunications Policy, vol. 27, issue 1-2, 21-39

Abstract: Creation of a countrywide network of tele-based information centres (or 'tele-centres') offers a low cost opportunity to empower local communities in developed and developing countries to meet the challenges of the information society. This paper presents a field study of how tele-centres in Ghana have contributed to universal access and discusses their potential impact on rural development.
