Wireless community network

Wireless community networks or wireless community projects or simply community networks, are decentralized, self-managed and collaborative computer networks organized in a grassroots fashion by communities, non-governmental organizations and cooperatives in order to provide a viable alternative to municipal wireless networks for consumers. Many of these organizations set up wireless mesh networks which rely primarily on sharing of unmetered residential and business DSL and cable Internet.
