[Battlemesh] Invite | Report launch: Financing mechanisms for locally-owned internet infrastructure

[Nicolas Pace]

Hi folks,

Although not specific to battlemesh, our locally-owned networks need to 
be sustainable,... so I believe this is relevant to you all.

I hope you can join.

We are pleased to invite you to the launch of the /“Financing mechanisms 
for locally-owned internet infrastructure/” report, a new study that 
documents and analyzes the operating models and financing mechanisms 
that can enable community connectivity providers to expand internet 
access and build digital equity.

Across the world, a growing number of community networks, municipal 
networks and social enterprises are successfully connecting those who 
have historically been unserved or underserved, especially in the areas 
where traditional for-profit companies choose not to invest. While these 
community connectivity providers are building solutions to the 
persistent digital divide, almost all of them struggle to access capital.

This publication will provide an overview of various network models 
while giving a deep look at how they can be financed sustainably to 
provide reliable, affordable internet to communities.

The online launch will bring together experts and builders to discuss 
the report and strategies that can fund community-centered initiatives. 
It will also be an opportunity to learn more about case studies 
featuring concrete experiences and discuss recommendations for 
policymakers, funders and network builders.

The “/F//inancing mechanisms for locally-owned internet infrastructure/” 
report comes from a partnership between Internet Society, Association 
for Progressive Communications, Connectivity Capital and Connect Humanity.
