[UgaBYTES] [uwci-ct] Rural communication: Is there still a need for telecentres now that there are mobile phones?

[Polly Gaster]

Yes, in our view telecentres and mobile phones are complementary. For
instance, at this moment some telecentres that had no connectivity are now
online via mobile phone modems and infrastructures, for the cost of a modem
and ordinary pay-as-you-go phone cards - good synergy, don't you think? Polly
