- Addressing the problem of network connectivity of digitally excluded communities who do not have access to the Internet and services such as housing, jobs, benefits is important for next generation Internet. This paper demonstrates the utility and viability of highly accessible and secure network architecture to deliver the Internet and services to digitally deprived population via a novel, secure-by-default fully distributed local wireless approach. Through systematic analyses of network and citizen usage, the paper discovers new social and environmental challenges, in addition to technical and economic ones, and proposes ways of addressing them.
