| Core Service
The core service provided at each Community Commerce Center is a workplace for each
individual assigned to the facility. The components of the workplace provided for each individual
served by a Community Commerce Center includes not only the actual open plan workspace,
including computer and telephone, but also the back office network equipment and service
required to provide the worker with a connection outside the Community Commerce Center for
communication with computer and telephone. The back office operation also provides
application software for each worker along with backup and archival storage. In fact, each
Community Commerce Center becomes a major communications hub providing Internet and
telephone bandwidth to support all operations. Given the methods such communication service
is provided to individual locations it is quite possible that each Community Commerce Center
could also act as a communications hub providing Internet and telephone service to the general
population within the operating service zone for the Community Commerce Center. It may even
be possible for a Community Commerce Center to deliver Internet and telephone service using
a wireless connection. As the number of Community Commerce Centers expands, there may be
a time when there would be a real advantage in connecting all Community Commerce Centers
through a proprietary global communication satellite network. The cost of staffing core services
positions is the responsibility of Community Commerce Center management.
