 Network Self-determination can be defined as “the right to freely associate in order to define,
in a democratic fashion, the design, development and management of network infrastructure
as a common good, so that all individuals can freely seek, impart and receive information and
innovation.” (Belli 2017a). The right to free development of network infrastructure stems from
the fundamental rights to freely associate, to freedom of expression, to self-determination of
peoples as well as to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications and can be seen
as an instrumental condition to allow the full exercise of individuals’ fundamental rights. (Belli
2017a and 2018). An introduction to Network Self-determination is also provided by the TED talk
“From Network Neutrality to Network Self-determination” delivered by the author of this paper
at TEDxRoma 2018. See .

self-determination: When building the Internet becomes a right. IETF Journal.
 In this perspective, the 2017 DC3 Report was tellingly dedicated to “Community Networks: the
Internet by the People for the People.” See .
