Community Computer Networks: Building Electronic Greenbelts
Cisler Steve
1993
|
What are community networks? What sorts of information and services can
you find on these systems? What groups are starting and running
community networks? How costly are the systems, and what are the sources
of funding? This essay will discuss a number of current models for
community networks, examine what impact they can have on the
environment in which they grow, and make a few wild guesses about the
future of such networks given the changes in computing and
telecommunications technologies. |
