Re: [DC3] RES: More Than 750 American Communities Have Built Their Own Internet Networks

Thanks for sharing! Interesting article but I think the author could have been more precise/explicit in stressing which networks are community networks (i.e. led by the community in a bottom-up fashion) and which ones are local ISPs sponsored/organized by local governments in a “traditional” top-down fashion.

To put it another way – which ones have made it community infrastructure?
