WiFi can be organized according to peer to peer principles as Mesh Networks.See also our entry on Wireless Mesh Networks Description You can have a "Wi-Fi network that is not top-down but rather ground-level, peer-to-peer. It relies not on $3,500 radio ...
As KeyWifi puts it on its IndieGogo project page, - KeyWifi is the world’s first web-based, peer-to-peer internet access platform, allowing individuals and small businesses to safely rent out their Wifi, opening up previously unavailable hotspots and turning our whole world into a potential “Wifi zone.”.

DiDIY: "The guifi·net is defined as a free, open and neutral network (FONN). Namely: • open, to ensure that everybody can connect and be part of the it,without discrimination• free, because the network is a common-pool resource, and nobodycan take it over exclusively• neutral, regarding the contents and the technology
DiDIY: "Revenue models: • Donations of two kinds: 1) donations to the foundation, as “friend”or “mecenas”; 2) sponsoring the set up of a local node.• Services from network operators providing guaranteed services ontop of the community infrastructure.• Cost Compensation between the operators: operators who investless in the maintenance of the networ...
DiDIY: • The network is governed in a decentralised fashion, by the localgroups, abiding by the guifi.net license.• The license foresees a role for the guifi.net foundation for conflictresolution and for overseeing the cost compensation betweencommercial operators in their network."

On one hand itcan be considered as a complement to the Internet because guifi.netnetwork can be used to extend the "network of networks" coverage, andon the other...
Penny Travlou: "On my recent visit to Barcelona in the context of the Confine project, Guifi.net founder Ramon Roca took me to Gurb, the village he comes from. There, in 2003 Guifi.net was started when Ramon realized that he would never get good bandwidth at a fair price in this remote area in sight of the foothills of the Pyrenees. Ramon, who is a...
LiFi is a wireless networking technology that uses light, instead of radio waves, to pass data between computers. Mesh Networks that use LiFi instead of (or as well as) WiFi have the potential to work much more reliably, use less energy, and cause less EMF pollution. At present, LiFi has mostly been tested over very short distances, like within ...
You now find Wi-Fi devices in virtually everything—somebody told me the other day that they bought a bathroom scale with Wi-Fi. Moreover, all over the world, people are building meshed Wi-Fi networks to build their own Internet infrastructure. In Africa, however, ...
