“Early adapters” in Ghana—primarily the educated elite and the business community—are excited about entering the information age. That enthusiasm is spreading, and public access is becoming a priority.

Once introduced to IECTs, teachers, students, NGO members and parents whose children live and work around the world find the prospect of immediate information and communication appealing for a variety of reasons, as feedback from Ghana’s CLC users suggests:

My first email to my son in Switzerland! On top of that, I got my own email address at hotmail. I’m reconnecting to my loved ones, so far away! Thank you.

...a noble idea..providing access to people who otherwise would not have [it]...My only hope is that...charges...should meet the pockets of those in the lower rungs of the community...

For the CLC concept and services to be embraced by the community, the technological structures must be demystified and practical benefits exposed.

The CLC is certainly a welcome angel. This is a wide ocean of possibilities for education, business and news...I love the system.

It seems to be simpler than I thought. Very impressive, and we hope it will not be a nine-day wonder.

Am impressed...It is my first time. I hope you will escort your services to the doorsteps of the community.

I have already learned a lot...and hope to be among the first batch of participants. Thank you CLC...More grease to your elbows, but make sure you don’t soil your beautiful shirts.

It is an innovative and strategic outfit which I think will go a long way to act as a catalyst to the development of various sections of the economy and engender in Ghanaians an awareness of the state of the art of technology, which is the best way to do things now. I appreciate your effort. God bless you.
