[bestbits] Fwd: Preparing for the End of Consumer Society

[willi uebelherr]

Dear friends, this is the answer from Pater Knight from Brasil.

In another email he send the link to a book with his experience to 
telecommunication in Ceara in Brasil around Fortaleza:

Private-public partnerships for expanding broadband access: lessons from 
the digital ring in Cear´a, Brazil
https://independent.academia.edu/PeterKnight16

I will clear say: I am not a friend of PPP (Private Public Partnership), 
because we don't need it. We need the direct activities from the 
Communities for her telecommunication. But, this books give us some real 
lessons.

many greetings, willi
Asuncion, Paraguay

Very interesting indeed! I plan to follow most of these links as part of 
my studies on the two interrelated concepts I consider fundamental in 
the first half of the 21st century: Sustainability and Sufficiency.

Over a year ago I put together a page page dealing with Sufficiency
<http://1962.dartmouth.org/s/1353/clubs-classes-interior.aspx?sid=1353&gid=315&pgid=5439> 
and recruited a Dartmouth Class of 1962 classmate at Ohio State 
University to do one on Sustainability
<http://1962.dartmouth.org/s/1353/clubs-classes-interior.aspx?sid=1353&gid=315&pgid=5438>

each with an introductory bibliography. Having finished writing two 
books dealing with the Internet and Broadband in Brazil, I plan to 
devote my intellectual energies to reading, writing, and disseminating 
work on these two concepts.

I have a large backlog of reading to undertake, but I'd be delighted to 
get suggestions along the lines sketched in the above pages and the 
excellent links in the piece by Stacco Troncoso that Willi posted.
