A number of recent technological developments have enabled the formation of wireless community-wide local area networks. Dispersed users (residents or moving users) within the boundaries of a geographical region (neighbourhood or municipality) form a heterogeneous network and enjoy network services such as Internet connectivity. This environment, named Community Networks, is well suited for both traditional Internet access and the deployment of peer-to-peer services. This Technical Activity groups together partners actively working on these topics aiming to provide a clear understanding of existing problems and ongoing work.
