Community Networks: the Internet by the People for the People

This book is the Official 2017 Outcome of the UN IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3). The UN IGF is a global multistakeholder platform that facilitates the discussion of public policy issues pertaining to the Internet. DC3 is a multistakeholder group aimed at fostering a cooperative analysis of the community network model, exploring how community networks (CNs) may be used to foster the sustainable expansion of Internet connectivity while empowering Internet users. DC3 provides a shared platform involving all interested individuals and institutions into a multistakeholder analysis of community connectivity issues. This book should be seen as a further step towards a better understanding of community networking and is built upon the previous efforts of the DC3.
