Fédération FDN

BEREC, the European Telecoms Regulation organization, is about to produce recommendations in order to interpret the ambiguous Net Neutrality European Parliament's law last voted in october. BEREC is aiming to facilitate its application in Europe members states.

The FDN Federation will hold its upcoming General Assembly in May, in western France. Besides the formal Assembly, it's mostly an opportunity for all non-profit ISPs of the Federation to meet, present their projects, and discuss.

We would like to invite other DIY ISPs or community networks, so that they can share their experience.

We took the initiative to reblog this text from Riseup's website. The FDN Federation supports this. It's about criminalizing the security practices of RiseUp as part of a criminal investigation in Spain.
Today, they come for email providers…tomorrow, they will come for us.

Last December, the FDN Federation attended the 30th Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg.

It was a very fruitful event, which allowed us to meet many DIY ISP initiatives or community networks from all around the world. We discussed and exchanged about our goals, our difficulties, and possible solutions. It was also an opportunity for every project to present their tools.

Today, the FFDN launched an international mailing list focused on Do It Yourself access to the Internet.

The members of the FFDN have been building such networks through local non-profit organizations for more than 2 years now, all across France. We want to share our experience, our difficulties and how we bypassed them, along with learning from similar experiments from all over the world. We believe this initiative will help all DIY ISPs to develop such networks and help building a better Internet infrastructure.
