Telecentre and Mobile

Telecentre and Mobile

Telecentres and Mobiles are two icons of the interventions designed in the field Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D). This research investigates the relationship and integration between telecentres and mobile technologies in developing countries, where new practices of use are emerging. A further aim is to identify the socio-psychological factors that can lead telecentres' operators to act as gateways to mobile for development (M4D) services and practices within their communities.

The main researchers involved in this research are Dr. Isabella Rega, Senior Lecturer at Bournemouth University and Dr. Sara Vannini, Post Doctoral Researcher at the Technology and Social Change Group (TASCHA), University of Washington.
