Wireless Community Networks
The Past: Cheap Internet Access Replacement
The Future: Sparkling and Bubbling Community Aware Alternative Services

Technical Elements
Sheer “network technology” (802.11n) is already OK
Mixed wireless/wired links can be used (guifi.net model)
Service model and organizational models are missing

Mobility
They are not cellular replacement (people are not alone with their cell ...)
The service is local, to enhance the local space

Societal Dimension The real value of a UWCN is in societal impact
Gives the communications back to communities
Reduces and changes the perspective of digital divides
Sustain communal interests and create bonds
Different from Smartphone+GlobalCloud+Social
Provides grassroot robust infrastructure ... or not?

Robustness against an attack
Philadelphia, WiMobCity 2014
WCN existing today are extremely vulnerable to targeted attacks: Killing 10% of the nodes makes 90% of the nodes isolated

Challenges
The design (if any) of WCNs today is based on isolated compartments

The challenge for scientists is to find a way of quantitatively describe the different dimensions of UWCNs

A New Science
We need a novel approach and a totally new trans-disciplinary science with an integrated perspective and descriptive power

The Road Ahead
Philadelphia, WiMobCity 2014
A rough road ... the one you need for and adventure!
Make scientist from far-away areas sit together and talk, listen, understand
Get out of the labs and walk in the big tough world
Fight the incumbent cultural model of imposed commodity services
