More on the Everest #CommunityNetwork: I'm joining a session at the #birdsite led by the @internetsociety to talk about our work with the communities of Khunde and Khunjung in about 5 minutes: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1rmxPkVmMXMJN

For this #GivingTuesday I’d like to talk about a project that I’m working on at @internetsociety@mastodon.social: the Everest #CommunityNetwork.

I work supporting communities all over the world who are building and managing their own Internet infrastructure where traditional operators have failed to do so. These community-led infrastructure and service models are know as #CommunityNetworks

@kravietz my take on Helium: since 2015 we have the open #communitynetwork TheThingsNetwork where peers share their gateways and everyone has free access. >100 thousand people are sharing 1000s of gateways covering at least partially the main cities.

Then comes Helium. They build private networks where people have to pay for access. That's basically reverting back from a community approach to a market exchange model.

I don't buy that. You?
