Definitions for "Kiosks"
Kiosks are street based computers that act as a channel for the providers content, appropriately protected from the elements and vandalism. Many councils have invested in them to allow access to e-government resources for those who do not have access through any other means and as a very visible and tangible way of reaching out to their citizens. They are often funded by partnerships of bodies, each of whom can contribute some content in return for taking a share of the costs.
