Season 2 | #4 How can we strengthen the community-centred connectivity movement?
<p>We’re back! And this is the fourth and final episode of the second season of the <strong>Routing for Communities podcast</strong>.</p><p>The regions where community networks are built have many differences between them. But there is one commonality: lack of interest from large telecommunications companies in providing<strong> affordable connectivity</strong>, or any connectivity at all. Populations that are often already marginalised suffer even more from such <strong>access exclusion</strong>.</p><p>Throughout our first and second season together, we've heard about the experiences of community-centred initiatives that are delivering practical results to bridge the <strong>digital divides </strong>in underserved regions. We listened to a diversity of voices and learned more about the potential social, economic and cultural benefits of these models.</p><p>So, what is missing for this movement to become even stronger? That's what we're going to talk about more in this episode: <strong>financing, regulation and public policies in support of community-centred connectivity initiatives</strong>. Join us!</p><p>>>> Read the transcript of the episode:<a href="https://routingforcommunities.apc.org/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://routingforcommunities.apc.org/</a> </p><p> >>> In our first season, you listened to life stories of those who create innovative, community-led projects that connect the one-third of humankind that is still living offline. Throughout the 12 episodes, we talked to more than 20 people from 15 countries. The topic provided us with a lot of content, so we decided to extend the conversation into one more season for you.
