#AncientHistories #Geek 802.11 wireless networks at the beginning of the century.
It seemed to be a time where technology and local community activism aligned, where software protocols could mirror liberatory social politics... And it seemed a global phenomena. I was interviewed by Japanese research students who were travelling to visit different international community networks.
There was the "pico-peering agreement" http://www.picopeer.net/PPA-en.shtml
the consume.net manifesto http://dek.spc.org/julian/consume/consume.html
Metrics such as "geek activist per sq km" to measure resilience of networks
