I like the preamble a lot, although I would not disparage the efforts from companies:
My suggestion: "... A number of private and state owned initiatives have addressed
this issue through techniques as diverse as baloons, planes, limited access zero rating
plans or points of free connectivity in public areas. Even though these sort of
initiatives are effective in increasing Internet access, sometimes uptime, level of
service, privacy, neutrality and other important factors cannot be preserved, resulting in
uneven experiences compared to regular online users." + "Community networks, on
the other hand, are empowering the people to build meaningful infrastructures that create
the local portion of the Internet in a manner that is respectful of human value"
(taken from your email)
The objective is to make the point without being offensive...

Nicolás, that is probably the most important point and speaks to the heart of the matter
on so many levels. I love your addition.
