Although still in the early stages, telecenters in Sri Lanka, offering internet based services to remote rural areas, are proving to be popular hubs for training for school-aged children and places for adults to access information on health, education and agriculture. In future, the centers will provide access to on-line government and business services. Structured along commercial lines and with initial public support, the centers harness entrepreneurial talent and create new development opportunities.
