‘Freedom is fostered when the means of communication are dispersed, decentralized, and easily available, as are printing presses and microcomputers. Central control is more likely when the means of communication are concentrated, monopolized, and scarce, as are great networks.’ (Sola Pool 1983, p. 5)

Between the net neutrality debate and the Comcast/TWC merger, high-speed Internet access is getting more attention than ever. A lot of that attention is negative, and rightly so: Internet access providers, especially certain very large ones, have done a pretty good job of divvying up the nation to leave most Americans with only one or two choices for decent high-speed Internet access. Many of us don't like those options. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2439429
Zone rurale, peu rentable.. personne n'allait le faire, ils ont décidé de monter leur propre fournisseur d'accès et de tout faire eux même !

We are a broad, international coalition of network engineers, community change makers, researchers, architects, and thinkers that are building decentralized and autonomous communications infrastructure. We know that the Internet is deeply broken, and we are rebuilding, from the inside out. We mitigate the ills of interception and interference on the net by facilitating networks that are owned, operated, and governed by the people that use them. This international free networks coalition aims to be the next step toward bridging successful local initiatives into a wide federation with global impact.
I organized the panel "DIY ISPs: rebuild the internet" at RightsCon 2014, together with Alfredo Lopez from May First, Derek Slater from Google, Mallory Knodel from the Association for Progressive Communications and Micha Benoliel from Open Garden. https://rightscon.org/ http://www.apc.org/
At the meeting on fosdem, people proposed writing a manifesto. Though I (gnrp) have been suspicious about that, I now think it might be a good idea.
This wiki is a place for developing the DIY ISP initiative.
It is intended to be a technical resource for new and existing small-scale ISPs from around the world. Creating an ISP from scratch is not so hard!
If you haven't already, read more about the DIY ISP initiative, and look at the existing communication tools.
