that's pretty complete. So we don't need our brains
any more to come up with good information. But then,
years ago, Neil Postman told us that our problem was
never lack of information.Ā We have even had great
examples for years on how communities can build, own
and operate their own networks (K-Net). </font><font

possible. So far, the digital strategies proposed by
governments have simply not been robust enough to push

Well, at least we are talking about it again, even
using words like "public infrastructure."<br>

about general information on community
networking.Ā Hereās the answer it generated:<br>
<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>
