However, the citizens don't have free access to the on line e-services of web sites dedicated to institutional, educational, tourist, commercial and social activities, although they need a constant and direct dialogue with them. Infact, the diffusion and access to the Internet isn’t still disposable for everyone: DSL facilities aren’t available in many areas and the ISPs impose expensive |

| 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. |
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 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. |

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 the 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 |
