Re: [DC3] AlterMundi receives operator license

I understand that going against an incumbent is a challenge. I'm just thinking of how to reframe the approach so as to minimize the need to ask permission (or forgiveness). One issue is "spectrum" when Wi-Fi is not enough. Or does one need permission to share Wi-Fi? Of course that varies as in places where putting up an antenna requires permission. Another possible point is when interconnecting with the existing networks. But this is a longer discussion and I don't want to get to far off topic ... for now. It's about the shift away from the traditional model of networking as service .

In many cases there are situations where regulators are reverse engineering current regulatory schema to allow new entrants, new alternative networks. They often do this carefully. In order to not upset the current market situation, but to push competition and more neutral access...Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, India to some extent are doing this. It really does not matter what the tech or spectrum band may be...on purpose...

I do want to better understand when one does and does not have to license a network. If you used WiFi to monitor crops I presume you don’t need a license? If you let your neighbors share your router? When does licensing come into play?

This is the first licence for community networks in our country. Here's the licence: http://blog.altermundi.net/media/uploads/licenciaaltermundi-1895-18_re sol.pdf And this is the resolution that made it possible: http://servicios.infoleg.gob.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/310000-314999/3 13590/norma.htm On another note, LibreRouter has been trending (top 10) in Hacker News all day: https://news.ycombinator.com/ come share some love :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18715230 Cheers!
