The most recent development in the Wi-Fi world is the increasing use of Wi-Fi technology in local community networks both in developing and developed countries. Wi-Fi offers possibilities for end-users in creating local community initiatives that go beyond simple in-house use and can cover relatively large areas providing a semi-public network. This research intends to study a number of Wi-Fi community initiatives in order to obtain insights in the success factors of community based Wi-Fi initiatives. In addition to its scientific relevance this research has practical relevance as well. It can help actors interested in Wi-Fi networks to deploy Wi-Fi communities more successfully.
