> Preamble
> Over four billion people may remain unconnected to the Internet, including
> around a billionwho do not have access to basic telephony services. Most
> people in rural and economically disadvantaged areas are unlikely to
> realise the benefits of connectivity in the near term. Rural communities
> and slums dwellers represent almost 60% of the worldwide population and, to
> date, traditional Internet access models have failed to provide coverage to

> While Internet access has improved in several countries, concerns about
> vertical integration,breach of privacy and net neutrality have become
> increasingly concrete. Policy and regulation have been adopted to avoid
> abuses but regulatory environments may be cumbersome and ineffective in
> fostering connectivity.
> To reverse these trends and reclaim the role of the commons in networks,
> it is necessary to create appropriate frameworks that empower communities
> and local entrepreneurs to solve their own connectivity challenges, thus
> creating new opportunities in a sustainable fashion.
> Bottom-up strategies that embrace non-discriminatory treatment of Internet
> traffic and diversity in the first square mile can truly empower
> individuals and communities, allowing  everyone to play an active role in
> making connectivity affordable and easily accessible.
