Who We Are



The Mayan Council for Communication in Sololá is a small group of citizens and community leaders living in the ´Department´ of Sololá who have a continual interest in supporting the advancement of equitable access to communications technologies in the region. The motivation of each member is to secure free access to communications technologies, most specifically the Internet, for all people, organizations and agencies who show interest and need.



SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE: To create a network of rural Telecenters that provide community access to regional and international informations resources. Each Telecenter will have its own dedicated satellite reception, the ability to connect for 24 hours a day and support 10 TO 40 computers on line, and each will be in a location chosen for its convenience to community users. The Sololá network could consist of from 10 to 20 independent and self-administrating Telecenters, strategically situated around the lake to provide the most practical use for the grassroots users in the region.
