== Netsukuku and the civic networks ==

Cities and Institutions are showing a growing interest in e-government projects finilised in providing on line services to the citizens through Internet, call centers and mobile phones. For example are disposable:
- services for school related activities (enrolments, cultural and educational programs),

Anyway, the diffusion and access to the Net isn’t still disposable for everyone: DSL facilities aren’t available in many cities and the ISPs impose expensive rates/costs to grant connectivity.
The creation of civic nets, in which the users can have free access to web sites and to the on line e-services, surfing freely and without any cost web sites dedicated to institutional, educational, tourist, commercial and social activities, which need a constant and direct dialogue with the people, is today made possible by NETSUKUKU Open Source software. His first aim is the implementation of a global mesh network, completely independent from Internet, in which the single PCs, communicating each other through radio frequencies, become automatically the nodes/access points of the net and in such way give their contribution to make it alive and, at the same time, to expand it, exactly as in a fractal scheme.

- every user to go not only through the Net of their city but also through those located in all the other cities which, once they are inter-connected, create a kind of global Network, parallel to Internet, which can indefinitely expand, completely without the support of ISPs;
- till a maximum of 256 hostnames to be recorded and supported by each PC (i.e. node of the Net).
The simplest way to create/gain the Netsukuku Net is to install a common wi-fi card inside your own PC launch the Netsukuku program, freely downloadable from Internet.
Obviously a larger diffusion of the Netsukuku dedicated network can be allowed by the wi-fi coverage of wide urban and rural areas: in the market there are many and different solutions of wireless devices, all valid and cheap (routers, access points, antennas).

On the Netsukuku Net everybody wishing to offer digital contents/information, will be able to
share them simply from his or her PC. The more of actors represented in the system is high
in number, the more will be granted dialogue, circulation of different ideas, democratic
process and the full right of citizenship inside the society of information.
Last but not least, inside Netsukuku Net users will have the chance to get through the
Internet free of cost: in fact any node can share with the Netsukuku Net his connectivity
to Internet and get from other users the bandwidth they didn’t use in any the moment.

How to realize a wireless Netsukuku Net:
Netsukuku is an architecture of flexible net and will create autonomously an efficient
wireless mesh network among PCs equipped with radio connection devices.
The simplest way to create/join the Netsukuku Net is to install a common wi-fi card inside
your own PC and launch the Netsukuku program, freely downloadable from Internet. The flux
of data will reach the wished destination, going through the same nodes (PCs or Access Points
in which Netsukuku as been installed inside), interconnected among them.
Obviously a larger diffusion of the Netsukuku dedicated network can be achieved by the
wi-fi coverage of wide urban and rural areas: in the market there are many and different
solutions of wireless devices, all valid and cheap (routers, access points, omni directional
antennas).
