Global alternative networks for communication are expanding and growing. Its strength lies in the collaboration of social movements organizing campaigns and media reform campaigns which alter information and communication to everyone’s benefit. These networks differ in terms of their location the type of content and their focus however, they are all unison by their non-commercial nature and a resistance to imperialist power systems. International alternative networks include non-profit and private organizations as well as local sites that advocate democratic information reforms and promote communication reforms. They also create new communications infrastructures to facilitate local connections regional and global developments with respect to social movement and movements. They also construct a lattice system of transnational, local (especially south-south) regional and global links that bypass imperial dynamics north-south.
Around the globe, alternative media tasks began to take shape in the 1990s. They seized on the newly accessible alternatives to corporate production media channels to spread their message of empowerment of consumers and community empowerment. Initially they were local but then they merged and connected around the borders of regional and national which created more media options for all.
Contrary to the traditional communications infrastructure that relies on massive investments in capital and infrastructure, these alternatives rely on volunteers to assist in their work. They can provide lower prices and more flexible packages for customers. They can also set up infrastructure faster, which allows for a faster rollout of 5G technology and a larger expansion of coverage areas. This will assist businesses to compete more effectively on the market by making sure their customers have access to the latest technologies.
