** Community networks
- For those of you who are new to the term, CNs are infrastructure deployed by
  organized groups of people for the self-provision of broadband networking
  that works and grows according to their own interests.
- Like some Free software projects, they are based on open participation, open
  and transparent management, and distributed ownership.  This goes way beyond
  *##* private-owned networks and Internet access, and even *##* state-owned
  networks with private ISPs. *##* In a community network everyone owns their
  piece of the network and are free to access other's services through it. *##*
- The previous characteristics translate into open, free (as in freedom) and
  neutral networks, values in consonance with the Free software movement.
  Some CNs even have mutual agreement texts similar to Free software liceses.
- Atypical as it may seem, the EU in its Digital Agenda regards CNs as
  fundamental for the universalization of broadband networking. *##*

** The CONFINE project
- Under the umbrella of the Digital Agenda, CONFINE is a EU-financed project
  with several partners: *##* CNs, research institutions and supporting NGOs. *##*



- Its mission is to support the sustainable growth of CNs by providing the
  means to conduct experimentally driven research.
- It also supports other projects advancing or extending CNs via financed Open
  Calls. *##* Here you can see the list of the projects selected for Open
  Call 1, and more than fifteen are now being selected for Open Call 2. *##*
- Last but not least, CONFINE provides a testbed and the associated tools and
  knowledge for researchers to experiment on real CNs. *##*
