Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Community network is a term used broadly to indicate the use of networking technologies by and for a local community. Free-nets and civic networks indicate roughly the same range of projects and services, whereas community technology centers (CTCs) and telecentres often indicate a facility to compensate for lack of access to information and communication technologies (ICTs). Although there is no absolute agreement on the definition of the term, it is generally agreed that a community network is a computer-based system that is intended to help support geographical communities by supporting, augmenting, and extending already existing social networks.
