Hi,

We have a first question. We had some doubts about this: should we include in the draft Networks in which Wi-Fi is shared by individuals, but they are in fact managed by a company (e.g. FON)?

As you may see, in the current version they are not included, but we have some doubts...

> > Abstract:
> >    Several communities have developed initiatives to build large scale,
> >    self-organized and decentralized community wireless networks that use
> >    wireless technologies (including long distance) due to the reduced
> >    cost of using the unlicensed spectrum.  This can be motivated by
> >    different causes: Sometimes the reluctance, or the impossibility, of
> >    network operators to provide wired and cellular infrastructures to
> >    rural/remote areas has motivated the rise of these networks.  Some
> >    other times, they are built as a complement and an alternative to
> >    wired Internet access.
> >
> >    These community wireless networks have self sustainable business
> >    models that provide more localised communication services as well as
> >    providing Internet backhaul support through peering agreements with
> >    traditional network operators who see such community led networks as
> >    a way to extend their reach to rural/remote areas at lower cost.
> >
> >    This document defines these networks, summarizes their technological

> >    economic sustainability models.
