Greetings all. I hope you will pardon the intrusion.

One of the most interesting developments to excite me recently is
all the discussion about Telecenters, particularly in developing
countries. I know there's a telecenter discussion list, but I am
writing to this list to enquire if anyone has personal experience of
working in or with ICTs, MCTs or any other projects aimed at the
development of the "previously disadvantaged" peoples in
developing countries. I will be interested in corresponding with you
to learn the do's and don'ts of such ventures.

Feel free to write me on "idsamson@beauty.hsrc.ac.za" or my
private e-mail address "idsamson@iafrica.com".

Thank you for your time.
