Abstract :
When studying digital ecosystems infrastructures we usually consider the peer-to-peer network and the other elements of the service-oriented infrastructure. This paper opens the discussion on DE infrastructures by considering DEs as regional broadband innovations that should both interact with other innovations, like community networks, and be recreated from participatory projects. We therefore overcome the definition of DE as technological substrate, adopting a socio-technical perspective on infrastructures that opens the discussion on how develop digital community ecosystems.
