Reading: Internet for the People.
- Really enjoying it.
- It's a great descriptor of historical process of the privatisation of what was once a public internet. As well as discussion of what (re)socialised alternatives might look like.
- It starts with a description of the pipes - the network infrastructure. And outlines how community internet would work as an alternative.
- Now it's moving on to the platforms. Should be good.
- Very interesting point about the relative scales of the pipes and the platforms - Comcast worth about $260 billion, Google worth about $1.7 trillion.
Read: Envisioning real utopias from within the capitalist present
- To get an idea about Envisioning Real Utopias.
  - Sounds worth reading.
