This fledgling free network movement is not one coherent group, campaign or strategy, but another one of those multitudes, a free association of individuals who work together for a common goal under a loose umbrella of a few principles and with a lot of enthusiasm. Free networks try to build large scale networks following a bottom-up grassroots approach by using DIY technology (homemade antennas, second hand hardware, free software) and suggesting decentral self-organisation as preferred organisational model. There is no single entity that plans and builds the network. Instead groups promote the suggestion that people share bandwidth and organically grow a network by (wirelessly) connecting their local nodes. --> more Mod: Armin Medosch Author & (wireless) Networker, London Dewayne Hendricks Dewayne Hendricks, CEO Dandin Group & Open Spectrum Advocate and packet radio Pioneer, Fremont, CA One Gigabit or Bust™ Initiative -- A Broadband Vision for California It has been generally accepted that the United States has fallen behind other industrialized countries with regards to the adoption of broadband services. Recent estimates show penetration rates of only 35%, which compares quite poorly to countries such as South Korea, which has adoption rates exceeding 95%, with far greater average bandwidth rates being delivered at much lower costs. Other countries have adopted national broadband initiatives to bring high speed broadband connectivity to all its citizens such as the U.S.'s neighbor, Canada. The United States has no such initiative in place at the present time. --> more Tomas Krag wire.less.dk, Copenhagen James Stevens Consume.net, London Juergen Neumann Freifunk.net, Berlin Adam Burns Free Network Activist, free2air.org, London Discussion
