<font size=3>Telecentres List colleagues,<br><br>
Scott Robinson is my name. I have been active in promoting
communicty telecentros<br>
in Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America since 1997. At this time,
I am concered re<br>
how to wed the growing migrants' remittance flows with microbanks and
community <br>
telecentros. This is especially relevant for many Latin American
countries where families <br>
in vast regions now get by with remittance transfers from relatives
working in Canada, <br>
the U.S. and Europe. And this regional phenomenon appears to stymie
national level policy<br>
makers whose natural focus is on their national territory while ignoring
the emerging<br>
transnational condition of rural and periurban groups. There are a
range of issues here<br>
of possible interest to many on this list.<br><br>
I teach social anthropology at a public university in Mexico City and am
active in the<br>
Latin American telecentro network, Somos@Telecentros
