Welcome! Open
Network Craft is a series of online manuals dedicated to teaching
members of rural and remote communities the practical skills
that they need to bring Broadband Internet connectivity to
their communities. Broadband Internet can be brought into
the most remote or geographically challenging areas, and along
with it, the economic development and the equal opportunities
for business that it promises.
The Open
Network Craft Modules are based upon Gold Trail
Open Network Society's (GTONS) experience of networking the
area known as "Gold Country" in British Columbia.
These modules are premised on the idea that because we were
able to network the communities in our area, other communities
can make it happen too. Specific technical skill are shown,
which when coupled with some resourcefulness and ingenuity,
will help you to bring Broadband to your
community! Good luck!
