Ramon is an activist for a free telecom network.
With 25 years of experience in corporate IT, Ramón is the co-founder (in 2004) of guifi.net, a "Bottom Up Broadband" initiative where the users supply themselves with the telecom infrastructures, going without the traditional operators. guifi.net is already recognised as one of the most important initiatives in this field, and today its network is 30.000 kilometers long and connects 17.000 families, first via wireless link and now via fiber optics too. In this Talk Ramon explains the shared adventure of creating this common infrastructure and what did they learn and how to get started,
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
