As with the Rural Transaction Centre, it has been put on hold, because without the RTC there is no place to put the Internet Cafe.The Internet Cafe is going to be a place where the tourist is welcome to check their emails, where the community can come along and do a web page or two, for the tourist to show the community where her/his home is and exactly where it is. For the community to read the newspaper Online first thing in the morning instead of waiting till the next day to read yesterday's news. To access Online courses anywhere in the world. To discover the Better Health Channel and find what might ail them.
The Internet can provide for the community what Governments and local Council can not at any time of day or night.
But as it turns out Networking the Nation thinks that Bendoc does not need all that money after all to service a community that is striving to better itself as the government pursues communities in the uptake of technology skills. What could have happened with all that money, will need to be achieved with a lot less and accountability is the same.
