This Glossary has been created by the TeleCommons Development Group to help you navigate the brave new world of information technologies for rural telecom. We know that information and communication technologies are evolving at such a rapid rate that this Glossary will be continually outdated. Nonetheless, we consider this a beginning.

Please communicate with us at info@telecommons.com to submit your recommended submissions to a hand-book which we are in the process of developing to help rural development practitioners find their way through these uncharted territories.

The final version will be published soon.
