  • ALEX - Electronic Alexandria Community *

    Located across the river from Washington, DC, this community network is a little different than most in the US in that it is not funded with grants from governments, foundations or corporations, virutually has a budget of zero, and is wholly volunteer run. Email and other Internet services are not offered in this community where those with access to computers is rated at above 60% but public access to the Internet is available through libraries. It is not affiliated with any government but provides partnerships with local agencies and provides a wealth of information to enhance their community.

  • Seattle Community Network *

    This volunteer operated network in Washington has pledged to prove equal access to community information for all users in the greater Seattle area. User registration is free, and includes an Internet e-mail account, Usenet newsgroups, local forums, text based access to the Internet, ftp, and telnet. Originally begun by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (see Civic Networking Resources) it soon grew so large that the separate non-profit organization, the Seattle Community Network Association, was begun.

  • Blacksburg Electronic Village *

    This famous community network serves Blacksburg, Montgomery County, home of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Southwestern Virginia. A joint venture between Virginia Tech, Bell Atlantic and the City of Blacksburg, it is considered one the "most wired cities in America". Membership is available to anyone who lives or works in Blacksburg and is "online". Free BEV Personal IDentifiers are available at the Blacksburg Library and VT faculty, staff, or student already have PIDs. However, it appears that free email services are not provided and access must be obtained either through one of the libraries, access sites at the University or with a commercial provider. The local community content is extensive and well organized with lots of discussion groups available. BEV is also well known for their training and information available for setting up community networks so visiting their "Starting A Village" section is recommended.
