Freifunk - Free Networks

Freifunk is a non commercial open initiative to support free wirelss and radio networks. Freifunk.net is part of the international movement for free wireless and radio networks (http://www.freifunk.net). To support the fast deployment of free radio networks, a specialized firmware for wireless routers and devices exists: the freifunk firmware. If you want to find local wireless communities worldwide a good place to start is the global newswire at http://global.freifunk.net.

Freifunkers in the world operate according to the Pico Peering Agreement: http://picopeer.net

Pico Peering Agreement v1.0

There are now many community networks, but they are seperated geographically and socially and do not form a coherent network. This document is an attempt to connect those network islands by providing the minimum baseline template for a peering agreement between owners of individual network nodes - the Pico Peering Agreement.

The PPA is a way of formalizing the interaction between two peers. Owners of network nodes assert their right of ownership by declaring their willingness to donate the free exchange of data across their networks.

The PPA is maintained at http://picopeer.net by a group of volunteers from around the world. It is intended to be used as a template for other small-scale peering documents and licenses.
