Re: [DC3] Big win for CNs in Mexico

Hi everyone, I hope Peter and co. from Rhizomatica doesn't mind me sharing this, but I just saw this (congrats!): *Independent community network stands tall* – A Mexican civil society association has won a legal battle for the right of indigenous communities to establish and manage their own community networks. The ruling exempts the nonprofit community network operator from a hefty fee levied on traditional commercial providers, arguing that the continued availability of affordable voice and data services in these remote communities is important to uphold their basic human rights, including freedom of expression. https://globalvoices.org/2018/05/01/in-mexico-an-indigenous- community-telco-will-continue-to-operate-for-now/ Hard work well done! -Michael _______________________________________________ DC3 mailing list DC3(a)listas.altermundi.net https://listas.altermundi.net/mailman/listinfo/dc3
