Wireless Commons

Wireless Commons refers to shared wireless resources, like free public Wi-Fi networks or spectrum bands, that are accessible to everyone. It emphasizes open access and communal use, allowing individuals and communities to connect without private restrictions. This concept promotes equitable internet availability and fosters innovation by making essential wireless infrastructure available broadly. Examples include community Wi-Fi initiatives and unlicensed spectrum for devices like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi routers, which operate in open spaces for general use, supporting seamless connectivity and digital inclusion.
