REVIEW OF RESEARCH ON RURAL PC KIOSKS
Rural PC Kiosks are difficult to Sustain
Successful Rural PC Kiosks Fall into Several Categories
Meeting Business Needs and Social Development Goals Simultaneously is Difficult
What Rural Villagers want and what we think they Need are Frequently Different
The Kiosk Entrepreneur Plays the Most Critical Role in the Success of a Kiosk
A Kiosk Champion Can Help Sustain a Set of Kiosks
Services Require Attention to the Entire Supply Chain, not only to the Kiosk
Focus on a Single Class of Services Increases Likelihood of Success
Kiosks do Better in Towns; Kiosks do Better in Remote Villages
Kiosks in Offices and Schools May Provide Alternatives to the Standalone Kiosk
Kiosk Usage is Dominated by Relatively Affluent, More Educated Young Men
Per-Transaction Fees are Resisted by Many Customers
Mobile-Phone-Based Kiosks Offer an Alternative to PC-Based Kiosks
