Hi, The PAC has inspired a lot of governments (local, regional and countries) through the world to launch programs of telecenters. French Governments has been inspired by the PAC in 1997 to launch the "Espaces Publics Numeriques" program, no lucrative telecenters in all the regions of our country.
The cuts of budget in the PAC is not only a waste but also a social and cultural waste in terms of citizenship and helping bridging the dividal digide especially for rural, persons with disabilities or poor people. For your information and people who speak French, The french Quebec community has launched a email campaign for the campaign. More details here: http://stage.communautique.qc.ca/?q=node/1092 I guess an international action that help the canadian Community Access Centers will be welcome. What can we do concretely ?? I can relay the piece of news at the biggest telecenter YahooGroup in french, I own for 6 years (2500 subcribers, most of them are working in french telecenters): http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/espaces-publiques-multimedia/ Best Regards, Jean-Luc RAYMOND from Paris, France http://societiq.wordpress.com --- Klaus Stoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > SH...T! > > TAP and GTA should send these gentlemen a nicely worded letter and > after > that send the big boys round.
