This section is for the discussion of policy and regulation as it relates to community networks, cooperatives, and even small ISPs. Got a question about regulation on your country? Got an opinion about existing laws and regulations? Got a better idea? This is the place to talk about it. Regulation can be complex. The technology, the terminology, the processes can be difficult to interpret. Ask questions! Remember, when you ask a question, you may also be doing a favour for someone who wanted to know but was too shy to ask.

The “Community networks tech-talk” webinars are a series of online gatherings promoted by the APC and Rhizomatica’s Local Networks initiative, aiming to build dialogues, information exchange and knowledge sharing between people engaged with community networks and local access initiatives in different realities and countries. We intend to held monthly live encounters to discuss different topics related social and tech aspects of CNs and use this forum for asynchronous conversation around them.

Discussion about this site, its organization, how it works, and how we can improve it.
