guifi.net is a telecommunications network, is open, free and neutral because is built through a peer to peer agreement where everyone can join the network by providing his connection, and therefore, extending the network and gaining connectivity to all. Is a collaborative project horizontally managed composed by individuals, organizations, enterprises, education institutions and universities and government offices. Is open so everyone can participate in same terms and conditions within the scope of the Wireless Commons. Today, thousands of individual people, enterprises of any size, organizations, institutions and administrations are building networks by following this model and therefore getting connectivity, handling the neetwork or providing content.

The Open Spectrum Alliance is a coalition of companies, organizations, and individuals working to unlock the potential benefits of bandwidth for all.Current methods of spectrum regulation are based upon the assumption of scarcity reflecting the technologies of the early 20th Century. "Smart" radio technologies support far more efficient and productive methods of spectrum management. The Open Spectrum Alliance is united by the goal of realizing the potential social and economic benefits of this underutilized natural resource by promoting innovative public policies. Web site

FunkFeuer is a free, experimental network in Vienna, Graz, in parts of Weinviertel (NÖ) and Bad Ischl. It is build and maintained by computer enthusiasts. This project is non commercial. FunkFeuer is open for everybody interested and willing to contribute. One of the goals is to built a unregulated network which has the potential to bridge the digital valley between the social layers and deliver the infrastructure and the knowledge for it. To be able to participate in FunkFeuer you need a WLAN router (starting at 60 EUR) or a PC, the OLSR program, an IP from FunkFeuer, some patience and motivation. You can see on our map where reception of FunkFeuer should be possible (keep in mind that there might be buildings in your path, so reception is then only possible circuitous). One third of Vienna should be covered in principle. In Graz are some nodes around the Kunsthaus. Web site

Freifunk
Freifunk (German for Free Radio) is a system and movement for creating wireless mesh networks including:
- A modified version of the OpenWRT firmware for wireless routers which allows you to relatively easily build mesh networks of routers using OLSR. Such networks can be surprisingly scalable involving hundreds / thousands of nodes and made using normal off the shelf routers.
- Communities of enthusiasts who connect to enable free exchange and transmission of data between participants. Web site

wlan ljubljana
Around Ljubljana open wireless network is growing. With the use of common and widespread wireless technology but with the innovative approach and above all with the collaboration we connect Ljubljana's public, artistic and cultural, production, educational, research and all other interested spaces and individuals into an autonomous and independent wireless network above Ljubljana, in which there is enough space, freedom and possibilities for new content, interaction and communication, research, data exchange, services and alternative access to Internet content. This way a new media is emerging, free to access, its possibilities limited only by one's imagination and creativity. Web site

Digital Interaction Research Group (GRID)
Universitat de Vic.
The Digital Interaction Research Group was set up in 2003 within the Department of Communication of the Faculty of Business and Communication Studies.
The objectives are to put forward specific proposals for bringing university communication studies up to date to serve the new digital context.
In 2007 the GRID initiated a new research line, bringing together mobile devices, web applications for organisations and collaborative web tools. Through this project the group is further establishing its importance, both nationally and internationally, in on-line communication research. Web site

Fractalities in Critical Research
Fractalities in Critical Research is a research group devoted to the study of present and alternative forms of governmentality.
