Re: [DC3] Investment on community fiber from Ethical bank

Thanks, (and a request for more cases below if you read the details) To me it is a great proof of the level of maturity a CN can achieve. The offer document is a perfect example of how a community infrastructure can be attractive not only to the local beneficiaries, but also to anyone attracted by social impact and ethical investment. The lesson to me is just how encouraging it is to see that there are ways that work in the really hard case of successful ethical investment. What works for cooperative fibre there, works similarly in guifi.net with the XAFOGAR project with public/private investment, (page 99 <https://giswatch.org/sites/default/files/giswatch18_web_0.pdf>), can work too for IXPs, distributed IXPs like what guifi.net or REMIX <https://mf208.host.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/pdf/gaia16_remix.pdf> (Scotland) does, or what other cooperative fiber networks can do. Do you know of any other "bankable" network infrastructure? (including access, distributed IXPs, open-access wholesale networks). This is in the context of these slides <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/105/materials/slides-105-gaia-bcp-on-cooperative-fibre-networks-00> (slides 6, 7 show different models and layering of optical networks), prepared for IETF 105 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/105/materials/agenda-105-gaia-05> but saved to the next IETF 106 due to lack of time in a very interesting session <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/105/materials/agenda-105-gaia-05> chaired by Jane and me in Toronto. If you give me examples I can add them to the collection for a WIP document. In fact, I am writing this from home with my guifi.net IP address, one of the cases in these slides, a 600 Mbps optical network connection using the Telefonica NEBA (VULA/Bitstream) wholesale service to reach the guifi.net exchange in Barcelona, operated by eXO.cat, the Barcelona volunteer association as part of guifi.net. All the best, Leandro. On 30/07/2019 11:33, Jane Coffin wrote:
