WEEK 3 SESSION 1
PRESENTATION


Reading Recommendations


Background reading for Week 3, Session 1 on 18 October 2021

An advance welcome to all participants in our session on Monday 18 October 2021 on telecoms networks and their regulation, with particular reference to community networks.

We have varied backgrounds, so to help us all to start in the same place we would like participants to look at the following materials beforehand.

  • Three early chapters of Global Information Society Watch (2018) on Community Networks:

https://giswatch.org/sites/default/files/giswatch18_web_0.pdf

At the limits of the internet: Technology options for community networks. . . . . . . . . . . . 13-20

By Leandro Navarro, Leonardo Maccari and Renato Lo Cigno

PANGEA, UNIVERSITAT POLITรˆCNICA DE CATALUNYA, NINUX, UNIVERSITY OF TRENTO

By Erick Huerta, RHIZOMATICA

Community networks and telecommunications regulation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25-27

By Steve Song, FELLOW IN RESIDENCE, MOZILLA FOUNDATION

As youโ€™ll see, they are only 15 pages in all and much of their content is probably already familiar to you, so please focus on any parts that are unfamiliar. You might want to start with Steve Songโ€™s 2-page high-level summary, and then go back to Navarro et al if you want more on the technology and to Huerta if you want more on legal frameworks.

This covers much of what will be discussed during the session. We donโ€™t expect you to have studied it beforehand, but you should know that it exists, so that you can refer to it afterwards.

Later weโ€™ll also provide suggestions for further reading.

Best wishes

Claire and Mariela
