Abstrakt: In the contemporary age of access the role of "immaterial networking" has been highly reinforced, driving the emergence of the internet as an essential tool for the social and economic daily routine. The main spatial and developmental features of Greek small and medium sized centres play a major influential role on the development and use of internet applications. The research conducted has examined this interaction and identified two main tendencies. Dynamic and powerful centres, which are near the basic development axes, have a dominant position in the web, as far as both connectivity and use is concerned. Moreover, in some small and medium sized peripheral centres local enterprises tend to overcome their lack of accessibility through increasing the use of the internet. How can we measure this potential and come to more reliable conclusions? Is this procedure related to a local economy extroversion? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
