Open Net Korea: A Pioneering Force in Municipal Internet Access

Open Net Korea's Vision for Municipal Internet

Open Net Korea, a prominent player in advocating for internet access, recently spearheaded efforts that brought together various stakeholders to discuss municipal internet frameworks. Last year, during a public forum hosted by Open Net Korea, the collaboration with the APC network and peers like guifi.net from Catalonia proved invaluable.

Collaborative Success and Legislative Impact

This partnership was instrumental in facilitating a law that now allows for improved community internet access across the country. By combining resources and expertise, the involved parties were able to enhance the dialogue regarding public access and community-driven solutions.

Key Takeaways from the Initiative

• Strengthened Partnerships: The collaboration among international networks fosters innovative approaches to local internet challenges.
• Public Engagement: Hosting discussions raises awareness and promotes active participation from citizens.
• Legislative Change: Successful advocacy resulted in more accessible internet legislation.

This achievement not only reflects the power of shared knowledge but also highlights a growing trend towards municipal internet initiatives globally.
