On the air: The third episode of the new season of the Routing for Communities podcast!
Community-centred connectivity initiatives are complementary to the internet access offered by commercial providers and state-sponsored public networks. They help to diversify internet access markets, offering affordable and locally relevant content and service alternatives for communities.
We believe the social values of community-centred connectivity initiatives make them different from traditional stakeholders in the ecosystem. And that’s why today we're going to talk about some principles identified by the Local Networks initiative in many of these experiences. We're going to reflect on some of these principles in practice, based on the amazing interviews we conducted in season one of this podcast.

>>> In our first season, you listened to life stories of those who create innovative, community-led projects that connect the one-third of humankind that is still living offline. Throughout the 12 episodes, we talked to more than 20 people from 15 countries. The topic provided us with a lot of content, so we decided to extend the conversation into one more season for you.
