For the slower approach, which Romero dubs the 'santong dasalan orientation,' CeCs could provide a venue for communities to study and learn in an inexpensive way. Romero believes that if people are really determined to improve their lives, every possible way to achieve it would be endeavored -- that includes learning on their own.

The CeC project aims to provide Internet connectivity in all cities and capitals by 2005; the first, second, and third municipalities by 2007; and all 1,501 municipalities by 2010. Currently, around 45 CeCs have been established nationwide.
