"Our goal is to create a shared infrastructure and build a community around it. This is not just about accessing the internet in remote areas. Locals are actively involved by providing space in their homes to host the necessary networking equipment, forming local support teams for infrastructure development and maintenance, acquiring and sharing knowledge on modern technologies, further enhancing personal interaction and collaboration between people.

Through this experience, we want to create a model not only for the development, operation and expansion of community wireless networks, but also for building communities that aim at local development and co-operation for the production of common goods.”
