I agree that corporate telcos would be better off if they worked with community networks for them to cover the areas of less interest to them. Perhaps regulators could make it mandatory that big telcos offer service to these areas before giving service to the big money areas. They could even be allowed to do it via community networks. So that helps the community networks have a greater leverage and the big telcos too. On the other hand, I think the network is not the only part that should be owned by the community. The data also should. It would be great to post this video on a free-er network. The best would be to make small 2 minute videos explaining the several concepts. (Younger people do not have the patience we have to watch 90 minutes of one topic.) The license, of course, would be nice to have a libre license (so no CC-By-ND or CC-By-ND). Another topic of interest would be the use of Free Space Optical Communications (FSO - not LiFi) for community networking. An example would be http://ronja.twibright.net (if it could be constructed with currently purchasable parts). I do not think building a GSM network is progress in telecommunications because there is currently only nonlibre drivers for GSM radio; not in GSM 3 or LTE or GSM 5. So the communication is not in control of the users. It is control of the vendors. It would be better to build a TCP/IP network with realtime video and audio communication prioritization. Then it would not be controlled by vendors and serve better the communication needs of communities. Greetings. Quiliro
