Abstract
The aim was to characterize the infrastructure of ICT public access venues, their users, their main activities and their role in the community. The study is part of the first stage of a wider project, “The Global Impact Study of Public Access to Information and Communication Technologies.” The findings from Chile are presented in a table form with photos of the venues, the name of the venues, and their category and characteristics of use (library, telecentre, school/ users, community, students, activity type). There are clear differences between community and commercially oriented venues.
