The cost of operation of the telecentre Guanaba.Net able to be open 78 hours a week and provide community service is an average of 37,830 pesos a month. Since the beginning is levied on sales of services an average of 12,252 pesos a month. We offer many services for free (Internet access to students, all skills) and what they charge is well below the market price. It is obvious then that does not cover the running costs with revenues. If in 18 months we remain the only Internet access point to 20Km to the round, it is because the social reality of the rural economy of these communities can not afford those costs. But how is maintained if Guanaba.net spends more than it produces? . The costs are covered by: (a) the remainder of the fund that the company donated a Microsoft Taiguey for the project (b) what they pay the other projects of the Foundation for services (copying, Internet). And that .. we are not counting the 100% volunteer work (not charged, nor have costs covered) and several people (Vicky, Alexis and Yacine) and the effort of the entire Guan-team and community members. This is to maintain prices much cheaper than in the Cyber work and the development of skills for use with regard to the key stakeholders (teachers, organizations, etc.) and beyond chat and copy and paste ..
