"Firstly, if the Community Network is built continuously by these acts, not by the community sector consortiums or property developers that engineer the network as infrastructure, and certainly not by the network as computer technology, the centre of attention is necessarily dispersed and distributed to the actors – to the network’s multitudinous “nodes” – where the action begins and ends. The focus is on community networking (as a verb; a doing thing), rather than a Community Network (as a noun; an infrastructure thing). The ontology of community changes – from one that privileges space (an infrastructure, a context), to one that privileges time (events)."

In this sense, our aim is not to investigate the telecentre as the main subject of our interest, but rather understand it as a commoon line which will guide us to identify the networking practices of the actors.

Starting from the hypothesis that the answer to the question of how technology changes what is understood as good by the actors, is the development of the importance of being part of a network, it is by observing and understanding these practices that we can build a consisten theoretical approach which will allow us to move the ethnography work beyond the mere case study.
