                      <br>
                      > Community networking is a type of computer
                      network that is built and maintained by a
                      community of users. These networks can be used for
                      a variety of purposes, including sharing resources
                      such as Internet access, software, and data
                      storage, as well as facilitating communication and
                      collaboration among community members. Community
                      networks can be local, regional, or global in
                      scope, and can be based on a variety of
                      technologies, including wired and wireless
                      networks. They are often used in underserved or
                      underrepresented communities as a way to provide
                      access to information and communication
                      technologies that may not be readily available
                      through more traditional means.<br>
