According to yet another recent article in WiredNews, a village of Ashaninka Indians in central Peru have their own web site. It helps them tell their story, educate their people and communicate with one another.

Other projects to help realize and maintain open Internet access for all include a community network project in a housing project in Massachusetts and other grassroots projects in nearly 20 countries.

Discussion of these projects and others took place at a recent four-day conference in Seattle called 'Shaping the Network', sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility and the National Communications Association.
