La Red Comunitaria como concepto: definiciones, atributos, características, etc

• Community networks develop and manage a commons (like traditional communal grasslands or irrigation systems), i.e., the telecommunications infrastructure, that produces an extractable resource from this common infrastructure, which is connectivity (regional or global). Participants develop and manage the network infrastructure commons to achieve social objectives.^[1]

• Community networks are not clubs, closed groups, to self-provide their own connectivity, but they are commons infrastructures that are open to anyone in the community. Anyone is welcome to participate to, or benefit from, the commons according to the access and participation rules. Natural commons, including natural materials such as air, water, and a habitable earth, deal with the preservation of a pre-existing resource system. In contrast, human-made commons such as irrigation systems, or computer networks in our case, are open as they are extensible by crowdsourcing. As new people and new locations join the network, the reach of the infrastructure expands, and therefore more new people becomes on reach. If the expansion comes with proportional contributions, not only the reach but also the capacity and resilience of the infrastructure can grow.^[2]

• CNs differ in many aspects but all share the value proposition of reduction of the digital divide in their communities, under a very cost-effective model with the goal of investment cost-recovery and non-exploitation use (not extractive model). This is achieved with different services, usually comprising at least voice calls and Internet access. In one interesting case, given the lack of basic infrastructure, the solar-powered communication network also supports electricity and lighting for node hosts, a very beneficial side effect that becomes an incentive to active participation in the CN.^[3]

• In all cases communities have strong bounds with their local environment. They need and count on the support of a range of local key partners, they perform similar key activities and require key resources, with more or less external support. The channels of communication with their participants (typically called customers) are similar in all cases, and the customer relationships are more or less formalized depending on the maturity and scale of the models. The customer segments define the scope and scale of each CN.^[4]
