Public Access Network

A Public Access Network is a communication infrastructure designed to provide widespread, affordable access to digital or broadcast services for the general public. It enables individuals or community groups to share information, express ideas, or access content without requiring private ownership of the network. Common examples include community cable channels or local internet points. These networks support transparency, civic engagement, and information sharing by ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to connect and participate in the digital or broadcast environment, often facilitated or regulated by government or local organizations.
