I think this group could do a great service if we could collectively
stand up at the next WSIS and describe / demonstrate a profitable
telecentre model that could be rolled out by small entrepreneurs,
non-profits and governments alike, worldwide.<br>
<br>
A model proven to benefit both the social and financial bottom line
could be publicised through the great array of existing telecentre
networks on this list and via WSIS itself. <br>
<br>
By including profit (or at least "surplus") in the telecentre model we
can ensure that it is scalable virally - you don't have to have a
social mission to want to invest in setting up a telecentre.<br>
<br>
To do this I think we would need look and review the revenue streams
and costs at a simple level from working telecentres. Do they stack up?
How can ideas and revenue streams from other telecentres be included in
our own projects? How critical are local and external factors?<br>
