It is now possible for even small community groups to build telecommunications networks that can provide coverage across large metropolitan areas using wireless technologies. This has created new opportunities for communities to access and share information in ways that have not been available in the past.
Groups of community-minded people are putting their heads and hands to work, to create real low-cost broadband alternatives which empower communities to share localized information such as websites, email, voice, video and many other forms of IP communications.
Such communities are appearing around Australia and are working to both educate and participate, people from all walks of life in building and using this technology.
