Other Community Networks
We aren't the only name in town when it comes to community networks. Other people are building community networks in other places! Here's a short list of networks that we know about in the US.
This Wikipedia article has more information about other networks around the world.
A lot of these networks are Meshtastic or other similar protocol low bandwidth texting networks. They are not what we would consider broadband internet networks.
Updating this table to include protocols used by each network would be helpful to differentiate between broadband networks and Meshtastic style networks.
