Hi, APNIC just published a blog article I wrote about the role of cooperative models and self-provision in the development of Internet infrastructures, and how that can feed local socio-economic development. 
You’ll see an analogy with how ice trading operators in the 19th century competed with fridges, established big natural ice “operators" vs new tech devices that enabled self-provision of "artificial ice".
Comments are welcome here and in the blog:
