Mosessian stressed the fact that CUBEs are not only a community center, they are flexible modules of a global office space scattered in physical space. They are combining the function of community center with access to urban reality.
Nothing could be more remote from the reality of institutional separation that we are facing today. Considering a village telecenter as actual part of a remote city raises fears, concerns and protest. Political power, administrative expertise and professional activity are still considered to be basically vertical geographical domains. They are kept apart like a chinese wall was in-between. And yet the braking of this barrier is the only way in which society can harvest the fruits of telematic innovations.
In a way we see slow beginnings of a mindshift. We see horizontal networks forming, where urban and rural institutions begin to work together. The fear of rural areas of loosing their identity is not justified; for the first time, rural areas can escape the cultural domination of a capital and theoretically have a choice to link to another center of excellency. In the Waldviertel, Austrias most progressive region in terms of telematics, the sonographic diagnosis in the Zwettl City hospital is done together with a hospital in Innsbruck /Tyrol.
