Decentralizing Telecom

December 2, 2012 (via LocalOrg) SOPA,ACTA, the criminalization of sharing,

and a myriad of other measures taken to perpetuate antiquated business models

propping up enduring monopolies - all have become increasingly taxing on the

tech community and informed citizens alike. When the storm clouds gather andtorrential rain begins to fall, the people have managed to stave offthe flood waters

through collective effort and well organized activism - stopping, or at least

delaying SOPA and ACTA.

However, is it really sustainable to mobilize each and every time multi-billion dollar

corporations combine their resources and attempt to pass another series of

draconian rules and regulations? Instead of manning the sandbags during each

storm, wouldn't it suit us all better to transform the surrounding landscape in such

a way as to harmlessly divert the floods, or better yet, harness them to our

advantage?

In many ways the transformation has already begun.

While open source software and hardware, as well as innovative business models built around collaboration

and crowd-sourcing have done much to build a paradigm independent of current centralized proprietary

business models, large centralized corporations and the governments that do their bidding, still guard all the

doors and carry all the keys. The Internet, the phone networks, radio waves, and satellite systems still remain

firmly in the hands of big business. As long as they do, they retain the ability to not only reassert themselves in

areas where gains have been made, but can impose preemptive measures to prevent any future progress.

With the advent of hackerspaces, increasingly we see projects that hold the potential of replacing, at least on a

local level, much of the centralized infrastructure we take for granted until disasters or greed-driven rules and

regulations upset the balance. It is with the further developing of our local infrastructure that we can leave behind

the sandbags of perpetual activism and enjoy a permanently altered landscape that favors our peace and

prosperity.


As impressive as a hydroelectric dam may be and as overwhelming as it may seem as a project to undertake, it

will always start with but a single shovelful of dirt. The work required becomes in its own way part of the payoff -with experienced gained and with a magnificent accomplishment to aspire toward.

In the same way, a communication network that runs parallel to existing networks, with global coverage, but

locally controlled, may seem an impossible, overwhelming objective - and for one individual, or even a small

group of individuals, it is. However, the paradigm has shifted. In the age of digital collaboration made possible by

existing networks, the building of such a network can be done in parallel.

In an act of digital-judo, we can use the system's infrastructure as a means of supplanting and replacing it with

something superior in both function and in form.

1. Mesh Networks: The first shovelful of dirt is to building a dam, as developing a rudimentary mesh network is

to building a parallel "second Internet." It is a small project a small group of people can work on, with a lot ofresources already out there to start with.

on their website here. Such networks are being funded and passed out by the US State Department for use by

"activists" to oust dictators in exchan e for new ones who coincidentall are US-backed. However such

networks also possess the ability to effect pragmatic change on a technical and local level.

....

While these networks have been used to help activists around the world circumvent censorship as they fight to

depose one dictator in favor of another, a charade funded by the US State Department - mesh networks can be

used more effectively to simply supplant and replace centralized infrastructure and create our own local

socioeconomic paradigms, no politics necessary. Instead of protests, local communities could focus on

business, socializing, and building with their own two hands the sort of environment they desire instead of

squabbling over who they'd like to "elect" to decide these matters for them.

Project Byzantium, produced by Washington D.C.-based hackerspace, HacDC, meshes computers together

wirelessly and features software that emulates popular services like Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, and Gmail. The

result is a mini-Internet that works independent of both the Internet-proper, and the services typically used on it.

For now, it is being leveraged by the US State Department and a myraid of corporate-funded foundations. This

system will be selectively distributed to activists in anti-Western nations, and denied to activists struggling in

despotic pro-Western nations such as Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Cambodia, Uganda, and many

more.

Image: A New York Times graphic depicts the differences between a traditional Internet network and a mesh

network. While NYT maintains this would best suit "dissidents," presumably in nations designated "enemies" by

Western governments, they in fact better suit people all across the West facing the corporate-cartels behind

laws like SOPA and ACTA, as well as sweeps to disconnect, fine, or even imprison people for sharing files.

....

The good people at HacDC have made their project open source and free to download. While they seek to help

"activists," the mesh network solution they are sharing can easily be used to connect a local community

together for constructive pragmatism instead of polarizing and destructive politics.

2. What will it Do?: With a mesh network running, a small area can begin operating as a miniature, second

Internet. In the future, these mesh networks can be connected with neighboring networks, forming clusters, and

collectively, eventually, they will run parallel to the existing Internet.

But until that happens, what exactly would a local mesh be used for? Luckily, there is a lot it can be used for,

and when local communities begin to leverage this mesh to its full potential, a lot of what we depend on our

"dictators" for will be better done by ourselves locally.

Education: The process of building a mesh network and maintaining it is an educational

experience. Assuming that such a project would emanate from a hackerspace, the process of

building, developing and maintaining the network could form the foundation of regular workshops

and classes held there.

Such courses could be done as a community service, and for extra income. The knowledge gained

by working on a mesh network, developing applications for it, or media to be shared upon it, could

lead to local small businesses, or the pursuit of a career in information technology. Everything from

web-design to programming and media production could be taught, giving people useful skills while

using their projects to help grow the local network.Of course, in the more traditional sense of education - lectures and coursework - this can also be

hosted on local servers. Local tutoring houses can stream classes for those unable to make it to

class. Lectures for university-level students could be streamed to larger groups than are able to fit

in the average tutoring house. A local repository for open courseware (OCW) could be created by

local schools.

Communication: The most obvious benefit of a local network would be having a means to

communicate in a variety of ways with other members in the community. Here in Thailand, even in

the city, there is a strong sense of community, and one that would be enhanced with a local-

specific network. Services similar to Skype, Gmail, and Twitter could all be used to tie the

community closer together, replacing expensive phone services with free local calls. Similar

opportunities exist with community broadband initiatives. Phones with WiFi capabilities could still be

used with existing networks, but have the option of tapping into the local mesh.

Business: Imagine a local mesh network with an interactive map similar to Google Earth that

served as a local business directory where links and live updates could be made for those included

in the local mesh. In a country like Thailand where everyone is an entrepreneur, this would be an

invaluable tool to promote your local small business and give everyone on the mesh the ability to

see what is new and what is available.

Many times people will go to the "big" store down the road simply because they are unsure of what

is available locally. With a mesh network, one could easily check what is available and what isn't

before even leaving home. Local businesses here, also often deliver - another task that could be

made simpler with a local mesh.

An application for vendors that travel around a community could be made to show what they are

selling and where they are, helping customers meet up with them.

Local media: As technology improves and as it is translated into open source software and

hardware, the ability for people to produce increasingly professional media on a smaller budget alsoimproves. In addition to file sharing and hosting media taken from the existing Internet, locally

produced media can also be produced and shared freely - ranging from local news and music, to

video productions and art.

Local news in particular, custom tailored to a smaller community, would better articulate and

address the issues people are truly concerned about, rather than reflect a broader agenda simply

sold to people by special interests. The news would be able to focus more around local

announcements and events, warnings and security issues, accidents and safety issues.

Collaboration/Socializing : The Internet has allowed people around the world to collaborate and

socialize, but often at the expense of never getting to know one's neighbor. A local mesh would help

bring down these barriers and encourage neighbors to communicate more. The role of a

hackerspace in the community organizing the mesh would already go far in bringing people

together for workshops to introduce the initiative. A nation is like a body, the local community like a

cell. Healthy cells make a healthy body, and similarly healthy communities will lead to a healthier

nation.

Emergencies: In an emergency, a series of generators and permanent nodes in a mesh network

could prevail where traditional networks might fail due to power outages. The role of local-specific

news and communication, as well as a community that collaborates closer due to employing a

mesh network would be obvious pay-offs particularly in an emergency.

3. An Orderly Transition: Of course, any of this could be done on the traditional Internet. But with a

hackerspace established in a local community and working on a mesh network, it is more likely that if a block

was connected together, people would begin communicating, collaborating, and networking locally to take

advantage of it. As these meshes are developed and success stories trickle out, these successes will be

replicated elsewhere and built upon. The combination of mesh networks, hackerspaces, community gardens,

community labs, local tutoring houses to augment education, and other local initiatives, all stand to buildstronger communities.

Image: A community garden. Mesh networks aren't a cure-all, they are one part of the necessary infrastructure

we must begin developing locally to create the world we want to live in. Consider also, community gardens, an

excellent way of strengthening communities while decentralizing food production.

....

The strengthening of communities leads to increased self-sufficiency and self-reliance, decentralizing not only

our dependence on big-telecom, but on other big-businesses as well as big-government. The idea is not to

collapse the current system, or declare "independence" from one's nation - but to initiate an orderly transition

from the current centralized paradigm to one as sensibly decentralized as possible. Mesh networks are the first

experimental steps in the realm of communications - one of many realms that must be decentralized in pursuit

of this new, local paradigm.

There will always be a role for government, but that role needn't be all encompassing, nor need it be intrusive or

overbearing. By undermining and replacing locally the special interests that grant governments and big-

businesses in every country their power, we ensure that we not only unseat our dictators, but we remove the

source of power their replacements will inevitably seek to abuse in their stead.

Where to Start?

Check here to see where the closest hackerspace/makerspace is and drop by for a visit. Express your interest

in this project and see who else is interested in network hacking and mesh networking. If there are no

hackerspaces in your community, look into organizing one yourself. Until then, Google Groups has served as a

good meeting place for those with similar interests - perhaps there are other people in your area interested in

mesh networking. Reach out to them.

The Project Byzantium site is a good resource to begin looking into regarding mesh networks, as well as

Wikipedia's entry on Mesh Networking - especially the references and external links. Included is a DIY guide to

building a rural mesh network (.pdf).....

If you are already developing or deploying a mesh network and want to share your story, please contact
