finilised in providing on line services to the citizens through the Internet.
For example are available the following services:
- services for school related activities (enrolments, cultural and educational programs),
- news, local radio and live webcams

However, the citizens don't have free access to the institutional on line e-services of web
sites, although educational, administrative, commercial and social activities need a constant
and direct dialogue with the users.
In fact, the diffusion and access to the Intern
et isn’t still disposable for everyone:
DSL facilities aren’t available in many areas and the ISPs impose expensive
rates/costs to grant connectivity.
  NETSUKUKU Open Source software allows Cities and Institutions to build a Net
in which people can surf without supporting any cost nor subscription to ISPs.
His first aim is the implementation of a glob
al 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 allow its expantion, exactly as in
a fractal scheme.
However, 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,

- 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.
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 easily 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).
For more information or any request of assistance, Netsukuku community is available
