The Bendoc Progress Association Inc have been successfully in receiving a grant from the Networking the Nation for an Internet Café` to be called BITE = Bendoc Information Terminal.
This grant will provide an Internet Café for the region and also have coffee for sale. This venture has to be sustainable long term to be a viable concern. It is an added bonus after the Rural Transaction Centre where BITE will be housed. BITE will provide access to the computers on a regular basis for all the community. The opportunity for online education will be available as distance is a problem but there is no reason why Bendoc and the region should miss out.
This will be incorporated into the Skills.net project where the coordinator has a contract to train community members from Victoria over the age of 15 years of age how to use Email and how to make a web page. Bendoc has so much to offer and the world is not that far away via the Internet.
BITE will be using the PoP at Tubbut, as it is the local call access. It has been going now for 12 months and even though there have been problems with it the more clients less problems should exist.
BITE will give the community an opportunity that
did not exist before and a cheap access to the rest of the world.
