Aid, power, and privatization : the politics of telecommunication reform in Central America
[This chapter begins the empirical analysis of the networking experiences and efforts that preceded access to the Internet in the region. The notion of “founding networks” allows for discussion of two important processes. First, the chapter analyzes projects to connect to early computer networks in the region. These projects promoted political visions that materialized in the use of different technologies (i.e., X.25, UUCP, and BITNET). Second, the term “founding” is used to discuss the formation of transnational networks of collaborations among people in several countries of the region. To distinguish them from technological networks, these transnational exchanges were often referred to as “human networks.” In Central America, the formation of “human networks” between actors and organizations of the isthmus allowed access to early computer networks.]
