Dear Jose, I would like to take this opportunity to present some of the work we are doing here at Cambridge - We are trying to solve the universal service problem in urban areas (where people cannot afford to access the Internet) using existing home broadband networks - home owners who have Internet connections share their Internet connection for free with those who dont have. We are currently doing deployments in a deprived area in Nottingham ( see www.publicaccesswifi.org ) More on the LCDNet initiative is here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~as2330/lcd/index.html There are interesting possibilities to do multi-path TCP between aggregating multiple access points and we are exploring that option too. The TIER group in berkeley have done quite a lot of nice work with wireless for developing countries: tier.cs.berkeley.edu/ Happy to discuss more :) Regards Arjuna On 8 October 2013 10:24, Jose Saldana <jsaldana@unizar.es> wrote: > Hi all. > > > > I have recently “discovered” the concept of Community Networks.
