Absolutely awesome. Hope that does not take away

the fact that the government still indulges in non democratic practices and is radical :)

Dear all,

 

I just want to share some excellent news from Brazil.

 

The Brazilian Telecoms Regulator Anatel has officially recognized Community Networks as an option for Internet access and explicitly mentions (and links) our 2018 outcome “The Community Network Manual” in the decision.

https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/component/content/article/2-uncategorised/528-redes-comunitarias

 

This is, to date, the biggest country on hearth officially recognizing CN and it is largely due to the excellent and incessant work of many members of this list!

 

Congratulations to ALL people involved!!!!

 

All the best

 

Luca
