@Benson Muite not really surprising, it is the reality. That's not the only CN in the Global North, perhaps England's B4RN <https://b4rn.org.uk/> would shame the biggest telcos across the globe.
Guifi.net <https://guifi.net/en> and Freifunk <https://www.freifunk.net/> are also interesting examples. Guifi.net seems to include larger institutions such as universities so can have experienced technical personnel running the network. Volunteers can help for last mile connectivity in established communities typically with a high population density. It seems that B4RN is government subsidized since costs in sparsely populated areas may be relatively high.
