They employ architectures and topologies different from those of mainstream networks and rely on alternative governance and business models. The document also surveys the technologies deployed in these networks, and their differing architectural characteristics, including a set of definitions and shared properties. The classification considers models such as Community Networks, Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), networks owned by individuals but leased out to network operators who use them as a low-cost medium to reach the underserved population, networks that provide connectivity by sharing wireless resources of the users, and rural utility cooperatives.

Fwd: RES: IGF workshop proposal accepted!!!!

by Steve Song

Full day workshop sounds like a great idea. One of the things we talked about at the Go Local! event was the possibility of coming up with a set of model conditions for local telco initiatives to thrive. This might range from Open Access policies around fibre backbones to reduced importation taxes on unlicensed equipment to license fees that favour small and/or non-profit organisations engaged in connectivity. One possibility would be to come up with a set of principles / recommendations / conditions necessary to the growth of "local telco" initiatives, both community and for-profit and build some momentum around the idea/declaration. In the past advocates for change have used a "declaration" to move an agenda forward. For Open Access academic publishing, a diverse set of actors developed a set of principles known as the Budapest Open Access Initiative (http://www. budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/) to make common cause around access to scholarly materials and similarly groups involved in Open Education came up with the Cape Town Declaration on Open Education (http://www. capetowndeclaration.org/). There are others. The point is that the "declaration" allowed a number of disparate groups to make common cause on an issue and became a rallying banner. Perhaps we might come up with a Guadalajara Declaration on local telcos or last mile diversity or bottom-up networks or, or, or. It would take a lot of work prior to the event to build consensus but might be worth doing. Thoughts? Regards...

Re: [DC3] IGF workshop proposal accepted!!!!

by Jane Coffin

Luca and All – Given the amazing energy around this great workshop, and that so many people may be in one place. I wondered – should we take advantage of all of the great people coming to Guadalajara and hold a day-long Community Networking event? We could focus in greater detail on topics related to: -Community Building/Getting Started -Business Case/Sustainability -Tools for setting up networks/The “How” -Tools for training/The “How” and sustainability -Software/Hardware Tools -Spectrum issues -Legal/policy (as related to spectrum or authorizations) -Other We could do it before, during, or after the IGF. Or, if this complicates things – we could find another event – maybe ICTP has something in early 2017 where we could gather, meet/dicuss. Talk to me ;) Best, Jane Internet Society | www.internetsociety.org Skype: janercoffin Mobile/WhatsApp: +1.202.247.8429 From: <dc3-bounces(a)listas.altermundi.net> on behalf of Luca Belli <luca.belli(a)fgv.br> Reply-To: Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity <dc3(a)listas.altermundi.net> Date: Tuesday, July 26, 2016 at 7:09 AM To: Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity <dc3(a)listas.altermundi.net> Subject: [DC3] IGF workshop proposal accepted!!!!
