** Community networks
- Infrastructure deployed by organized groups of people for self-provision of
broadband networking that works and grows according to their own interests.
- Like some Free software projects: based on open participation, open and

- The EU in its Digital Agenda regards CNs as fundamental for the
universalization of broadband networking. *##*
