Abstract
The study provides a detailed report on three telecentres with different forms of ownership and operation: Bannok.com Computer Centre, owned and operated by an NGO; Pong Telecentre under the care of a non-formal education centre (government unit); and Ban Sam Kha School Computer Centre which was community-based. The ways communities made use of ICT and telecentre services in the case studies were based on community contexts and the interaction of communities and their circumstances. A “Lessons Learned” section for each case study outlines conclusions and recommendations.
