In Belgium, we are in the process of setting up an associative ISP, the road is long, but we have already started "formallly" to investigate technical solutions for vdsl lines, radio/wifi links; procurement of server, uplink, datacenter.. We have just passed a milestone which was to set up the legal entity supporting our diy isp.
You are right to point out that there is still a lot of work to be done, but this is a step in the right direction imho.
The idea behind this federation at this point is more to advertise the status of the various projects, and connect people together to share expertise (legal and hands-on).
- Udo 13y ago> but this is a step in the right direction imho. It absolutely is, yes. What you're doing is admirable. > The idea behind this federation at this point is more to advertise the status of the various projects Ah, alright then. My first association was there'd by an effort to extricate yourself from the all-pervading surveillance, censoring, and traffic-shaping planned or already taking place. Of course, setting up an organization for knowledge sharing is also a worthy cause.
- AlterSid 13y agoI sure hope this happens at the federation level too and becomes intrinsically tied to it. But what I am sure of, is that these aspects are some of the main drivers for people I had the pleasure to meet irl, and who are behind these initiatives.
