Abstract
Since the middle of the 2000s, public interest in telework is rising. Many peripheral communities in developed countries have been showing a renewed interest for telecenters, facilities dedicated to the hosting and nurturing of teleworkers and IT-enabled small firms. These facilities offer IT gear and services that individuals and small enterprises could not afford such as DSL symmetrical telecommunications, a videoconferencing system, secretarial and concierge services. Telecenters have a small economic impact on local communities. Many of them have failed to attract a significant number of teleworkers. However, some are successful, and should be regarded as living labs of the digital economy in rural areas, and parts of broader economic revitalization plans which endeavor to widen and strengthen the local economic base.
