  abstract = {This paper proposes a telecenter ecosystem that could transform the current state of ICT adoption in rural areas into a situation where the community can reap the benefit of access to ICT. Although many initiatives have been implemented to bring access to ICT and the Internet to rural communities, there appears to be a lack of value added benefit that a community can gain from the adoption of ICT. This paper therefore aims to present a telecenter ecosystem that can transform rural areas into a community that is capable of adding value as a result of ICT. Based on a case study of a telecenter involving respondents from twelve neighboring villages in the northern region of Malaysia, the information needs of the local community were identified and prioritized. A telecenter ecosystem was proposed based on information priorities that can optimize the roles of the various stakeholders within the ecosystem.},
