	Telekiosk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Development
		It is already one year since the WorldSpace "mobile telekiosk" left the ITU telecom 99 Exhibition grounds in Geneva for its starting point in Bamako (Mali).The main objective of the mobile telekiosk is to explore, in rural areas and villages, the market potential for information and communication technologies (ICT).
		When launching the telekiosks initiative at Telecom 99, WorldSpace's idea was to combine, under one roof, its own entertainment and multimedia services with traditional telecommunication services and take them to the people.
		The telekiosk is equipped with an air conditioning unit and a power generator.

	Kabul Reconstructions
		Your question made me curious about whether there had been any follow-through on putting more Telekiosks in more post offices throughout Kabul, so I checked out the UNDP Afghanistan website to see what was going on these days.
		If you click on the "New Public Relations Experts for Kabul Telekiosks" story on that page, you'll see that there as of August 2003, there are now 9 Telekiosks in Kabul post offices and a number of new animators have also been trained to give the free computer classes and help people use the kiosks.
		Will try to find out if the Telekiosks were affected too, but this certainly seems to suggest that Kabul is (for better or worse) connected to the same global Internetwork as the rest of us.

		Muzhgan and her friends have been able to learn about computers at new telekiosks in Kabul, opened only this July.
		The four telekiosks are bright and attractive rooms housed in post offices, and are equipped with new computer terminals, Internet access, and two staff members called animators—carefully chosen so there is always one male and one female—available to give free computer training.
		Many of the hundreds of telekiosk visitors have been young people who have used the Internet in exile in Pakistan, but they have also included a 70-year-old first time user and many children and women, some of whom push back their burkhas to use the keyboards.

	IL SISTEMA CROCUS
		The pupils have worked individually or in small groups, on their own or with the help of the school teacher, permanently connected with the tutors of the Crocus system for the courses of Italian as a second language and for the mother-tongue courses in which they had enrolled.
		Thanks to the Telekiosk section, the teachers and the rest of the staff have tested the information and documentary support services, helping the partners of the Crocus project tune it up and make it more functional and comprehensive.
		The system is Internet based, but uses satellite transmission links for pushing data, video’s and images to the user stations located in schools, libraries, youth and cultural centres and teacher training centres.

		First it is important to distinguish between access — the "opportunity" to use ICTs and the information that the ICTs can provide, from control — the power to decide how ICTs are used and who can have access to them.
		A woman who visits a Worldspace telekiosk in Madagascar (I need more detail about this, I’m relying on memory) has "access" to ICTs and the information and knowledge that are available to her via the the ICTs at the kiosk.
