Thanks Luca for this excellent work...
I wonder if we should have at least a basic definition of what is a
community network, something like "Community networks are connectivity
infrastructure that are owned by the community, whether or not such an
ownership is operationalised, wholly or partly, through local private
sector entities." Just a rough, quickly done one. We should of course
arrive at a commonly agreed definition here.
I'd like to share AlterMundi's view on this, which is mostly summarized
in the last article of FRIDA's book, "Community networks: internet from
the first mile":

Some of it, after proper debate, could be used for the website.
(the original article is in spanish (for those who can read it):

... the translation is not very good but it's gets the message through)
Cheers!
