"No início, tínhamos receio de que os telecentros abririam um mundo tão novo para essas comunidades que poderia absorver – ou sufocar – toda a cultura tradicional desses povos. Na prática, percebemos que o mundo novo se abriu, mas em vez de enfraquecer os conhecimentos tradicionais, aconteceu o contrário: os comunitários, ao se depararem na Internet com este novo mundo, tão diferente, conseguiram identificar melhor quem são eles e agora querem montar os sites comunitários para apresentarem a realidade deles para o mundo".
