Fw: [governance] 3 Books to be Presented at IGF
Pray you are well! This is the manual we need to explore on our community networks!Keen to see the application in our local context. <<<Community Connectivity. Building the Internet from Scratch. The book explores alternative models to expand connectivity in a sustainable fashion. The first part focus on community networks' governance while the second one analyses a series of case studies. Together with the Declaration on Community Connectivity, the book is the annual outcome of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity.>>> http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3737/... Blessed day. Regards/Wangari PreambleOver four billion people may remain unconnected to the Internet, including around a billionwho do not have access to basic telephony services. Most people in rural and economically disadvantaged areas are unlikely to realise the benefits of connectivity in the near term. Rural communities and slums dwellers represent almost 60% of the worldwide population and, to date, traditional Internet access models have failed to provide coverage to such populations. While Internet access has improved in several countries, concerns about vertical integration,breach of privacy and net neutrality have become increasingly concrete. Policy and regulation have been adopted to avoid abuses but regulatory environments may be cumbersome and ineffective in fostering connectivity.To reverse these trends and reclaim the role of the commons in networks, it is necessary to create appropriate frameworks that empower communities and local entrepreneurs to solve their own connectivity challenges, thus creating new opportunities in a sustainable fashion. Bottom-up strategies that embrace non-discriminatory treatment of Internet traffic and diversity in the first square mile can truly empower individuals and communities, allowing everyone to play an active role in making connectivity affordable and easily accessible. --- Pray God Bless. 2013Wangari circa - "Being of the Light, We are Restored Through Faith in Mind, Body and Spirit; We Manifest The Kingdom of God on Earth".
