Based on extensive fieldwork, Jungnickel's research into community WiFi networking explores the innovative digital cultures of ordinary people making extra-ordinary things. Committed to making 'ournet, not the internet', these digital tinkerers re-inscribe wireless broadband technology with new meanings and re-imagined possibilities of use.

Katrina Jungnickel is a Lecturer in the Sociology Department at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK. Her research explores new technology cultures, making practices and inventive methods. www.katjungnickel.com
