CONTEXT

Ciberstrategy specifically addressed the fact that Telecentres have undergone an important evolution from their initial development as centres for the use of new Information and Communication Technologies, or as Teleworking centres. Nowadays, they also specialise in issues relating to their location (urban or rural), the social needs of their Region, the political point of view of their promoters, or their type of management. During recent years, Telecentres have implemented cultural and technological changes and they have had to adapt and update their activities and functions accordingly.
