Postal telecentres: Rural Development through Internet Access in South African Development Community: the cases of Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia

This study aims to assess the potential for private sector provision of internet facilities through the post office network in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia. PricewaterhouseCoopers have been appointed as consultants to carry out this study through local research in Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi. The emphasis is not on what’s currently being done in the postal network to develop internet facilities but on what can be done in the rural areas with the participation of the private sector.
