Ashoka
Introduction
Ramón has created a new and sustainable way of extending internet access to the last mile in isolated communities by creating a community owned and operated network where every user co-owns and co-manages the infrastructure. He is treating internet access as a common good, rather than as a private good, while avoiding “the tragedy of the commons” which has caused so many common goods efforts to fail.
