The Wireless Commons Signatories
These pages were born from discussion amongst the Free Networks community and first published at wirelesscommons.org in 2003. The domain has long since expired, however the original site (along with several translations) is preserved at archive.org.
See also: the Wireless Commons Manifesto and the Wireless Commons Definition.
Below you can see the full list of signatories. If you support the ideals and goals of the wireless commons we'd love to have you sign as well to show your support.

Paul Holman from The Shmoo Group has signed the manifesto.
Jim Bowering has signed the manifesto.
Paul Hughes says:
Adam, I think changing 'unlicensed spectrum' to 'Open Spectrum' won't scare away the non-techies. I think its a good phrase that needs to be promulgated, and it will tie-in nicely with all of the open spectrum ideas already out there. I don't have a wi-fi tranceiver yet, but I fully support this effort, and will certainly provide a hotspot in my neigborhood as soon as I'm able.
Ward Cunningham from Cunningham & Cunningham, Inc. says:
I'm inspired by the manifesto's forethought and generosity.

Technolgy is people relating well and living well. Using tools to create communities is technical mastery. We are the technology. We are technology itself. It is not outside us, or in circuits or abstract ideas. It is how we live and what we are. We are all technicians now, of one sort or another.
Michael Weisman says:
I'm here to tell you that war over the airwaves has already begun; you are already in it. If technology is to be a platform for justice, freedom, innovation, and prosperity, then it must be free to grow and develop applications on behalf of people, not institutions. Let business take care if itself; it needs neither our help or our protection. Our job is to take care of ourselves, our families, and our societies.

SM0UGT from SK0MK www.arrl.org says:
The common intrest of hamradio and wireless are there, there is a need for allround technical persons if that goes with the enthusiasm for wireless and knowlage for computers and the demands a free network that can go in and take resposibillity for public communication need in case of problems (War, conflict, disaster) I guess this kind of group will be a amateur radio organisation. I suggest you take contact with www.arrl.org and discuss the subject with them. In the development of this i might be one of the keypersons to make this come real - we do need other types of wireless technologies to make this happend and this is some kind of a work I have spent - if it sounds intresting you can contact me.

Morgan Likely from Blunt Force Drama Project says:
I am a proud supporter of revolutionary acts no matter what form they choose to come in. I am glad this one arrives shrouded in a technical veil.

The emancipatory potential of our technology is staggering.

Kevin W Tharp from Central Queensland University has signed the manifesto.
Richard Giles says:
As the manifesto states, wireless is starting to become affordable. What the future holds is a wireless chip and wireless hub in many devices. Each becoming a free router for the network of the future. The problem, today governments and large corporations control the spectrum that will enable such a free flowing network to be controlled by the people for the people. It is possible, with enough support, that we could create a global network where its use is free. Don't just sign the Manifesto, spread the word.
Tomas Krag from wire.less.dk says:
you better believe it…. and i'm here to ensure that global means global. working with wireless tech for the developing world.

Just another part of the WAfreenet for Western Australia, Perth. Signing in. Take it easy
Ian Porter from Technomar says:
This is the begining of a great and powerful future where the carrier is the atmosphere. Spectrum hurdles remain but the interesting aspect of “the future” is that it is unpredictable, surprising and so often more rewarding than could ever be contemplated at the outset. We are at the outset now: Lets shape it best for future generations.
Peter BG Shoemaker from Context Strategies says:
Ubiquity is a necessity
Aaron M Johnson says:
Everything we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. – EAP
Stephen Provizer from Citizens Media Corp/Allston-Brighton Free Radio says:
To overcome the powerful enemies of the Wireless Commons, we must create a broad-based grassroots movement.
Harel says:
For a related project to fundamentally change the media landscape to a democratic system, see: http://EconomicDemocracy.org/intro.webcast.html Which gives a short overview of the meta-project and a link at the bottom to the main strategic vision essay, “The Revolution Will be Webcast” This vision will still be relevant (and hopefully much closer to being realized) in 2005. We might replace “web” and “webcast” with whatever the next name/manifestation is, but as we know: “Words exist
[to convey]
meaning; once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words.” Chuang-tzu Please read: http://economicdemocracy.org/intro.webcast.html

Saul Albert from consume / youarehere / free2air says:
Nice one. Very useful contribution to debates about Free Networks. I have a few comments:
- Commercial projects that use but do not threaten the 'common' status of the network should be facilitated by it.
- The word 'community' is a bit of a spuzzword and should be used carefully and critically.
- A proliferation of 'free network agreements', like the proliferation of public lisences is a good idea. The 'wireless commons definition' is a good start, another good start is the Pico Peering Agreement - see http://www.picopeer.net
- Wireless is just one way to deploy free networks. Many groups use a combination of wired/wireless nets to save cash. I prefer 'free network' to 'wireless' because it covers any tech. However, I do acknowledge that the politics of radio spectrum use is the issue in many cases.
Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia from SOLOCOMPUTO SAC says:

Henry O'Tani from originator and WW promoter of Amateur & Community WLAN concept says:
“The Commons” was a concept from the Old English Common Law (before the Norman Conquest)…All free Englishmen were equal, All land was held in common…(except for your homepatch defined by the throw of a hammer in the 4 quadrants)…. Trial by a 12 man jury (of your own type and rank) was also of “the old way”… The Norman's introduced land ownership, patriachy, personal inequality and serfdom which have continued and been successfully exported to this day…. Having disposed of the “ethic” “British indigenous native culture” first, their decendents then went back and dominated Western France for 300 years and thence barely a single country or ethnic people have escaped the Anglo Saxon idea of real estate and assumption of inequality in personal and political relationships ….. A least one Native American traces “the problem source” back to the British Normans and their Viking ancestry). My inspirations have been Norbert Wiener (Father of Cybernetics) http://www.wlan.org.uk/wiener2.htm 1947, Trevour Howell (founder of “People in Common” in 1973 (d.1976) and Stewart Brand (founder of the Whole Earth Catalog).

vizzy george from marks and rights says:
it might be intersting to be with you people.
Jonathan Schull from DigitalGoods says:
A distributed, grass roots “bottom up” commons will ultimately be more valuable to individuals *and* commercial providers than a profit-maximizing top down enterprise of the sort the telcos and big ISPs are destined to offer. Helping them see this, as well as stimulating the grass roots should be an important part of our mission.

Dr. Joshua Z. Ellis from Zenarchery.com says:
The very nature of wireless connectivity – uncuttable, untraceable – makes it eminently desirable from both an economic and a political standpoint. Community wireless is desirable because its growth is organic – one of my personal requirements for truly powerful technologies in this new century.

Lets go for it. If we can pry open the commons with ultra wideband or some form of lower frequency spread spectrum, there is no limit. How about some fiber optics between our houses– bury it ourselves. Check out seattlewireless. I am glad to join this charter list. Redundency should solve the problem of reliability and capacity.

José Murilo Junior from Ecologia Digital says:
Digital ecology seeks to preserve and increase the cultural diversity and quality of life in the information ecosystem. A key ecological issue concerns the preservation and increase of the use value for humankind at large and the non-commercial properties of information as opposed to the exchange value. This includes the question of cultural diversity and the quality of life in an environment increasingly based on digitized information.

dan davis from davis digital says:
“A mass in movement resists change of direction. So does the world oppose a new idea. It takes time to make up the minds to its value and importance. Ignorance, prejudice and inertia of the old retard its early progress. It is discredited by insincere exponents and selfish exploiters. It is attacked and condemned by its enemies. Eventually, though, all barriers are thrown down, and it spreads like fire. This will also prove true of the wireless art.” - Nikola Tesla 1908

Michael Albert Nunex from NexWave Studios says:
A Corporation; is an entity, that exist apart from the people that are employed by it. Society (the People) makes up the needed factor, of being both the working force and the consumer to the corporate entity. The governments and the courts have become, the administering arm of corporate lobbying. Monolithic corporations have made it hard for the small business to compete with big business franchises, let alone the first nation people and the family enterprises. We must reclaim our common ground and the common airways.

We need to protect and grow the global commons in all spheres of life. The creation of a just and sustainable society requires participative democracy, specifically the democratisation of media and money creation: Media: hackers are sorting this with WiFi, blogs and wiki's etc - plone.com, scoop.kuro5hin.org - all over open p2p networks. Money creation: deperately need more hackers working on this front - see http://www.openmoney.org and read the excerted version of the essential 'Money: Understanding and creating alternatives to Legal Tender' at http://www.chelseagreen.com/Livelihood/MoneyEBook.htm).
