The digital agenda, the outlook for the National
Digital Literacy Campaign, and e-government were
the principal topics of the First Area Meeting of Infocenter Operators
of the Central Zone, organized by the National Infocenter Network and
sponsored by the Under Secretariat for Telecommunications and the
Mining Council. The meeting was

The purpose of the Area Meeting was to
become familiar with and take advantage of the experience of
infocenter and network operators, to share knowledge and good
practices, and to disseminate information on services and
opportunities available in Internet-access centers, according to their
specific characteristics, target population, location, etc.
The Meeting was being
held in the Extension Center of the Catholic University of Chile.
Representatives from regions V, VI, and VII and from the Metropolitan
Region are participating, with a total thus far of over 130 operators
who work and take part in various public and private initiatives
comprising the National InfoCenter Network (www.infocentros.gob.cl),
among them library networks (Biblioredes), community access links, the
Sercotec and Fosis micro- and small business InfoCenter network, the

Discussions with individuals involved in
information and communication technologies in the Central Zone,

Agenda.
