# 2023-04-09 - Reading: [[Internet for the People]]. - Really enjoying it. - It's a great descriptor of historical process of the privatisation of what was once a public internet. As well as discussion of what (re)socialised alternatives might look like. - It starts with a description of the pipes - the network infrastructure. And outlines how community internet would work as an alternative. - Now it's moving on to the platforms. Should be good. - Very interesting point about the relative scales of the pipes and the platforms - Comcast worth about $260 billion, Google worth about $1.7 trillion. - Read: [[Envisioning real utopias from within the capitalist present]] - To get an idea about [[Envisioning Real Utopias]]. - Sounds worth reading. - Listened: [[Robin Hahnel on Parecon (Part 1)]]
