Abstract
Basic Internet foundation is an institute that aims to ensure optimized content delivery for capacity-limited networks. In this paper we describe the foundation’s initiative in offering free access to low capacity Internet to people in areas with low admission and economic problems and/or no Internet coverage. The main contribution of this paper consists in pointing out solutions that this foundation proposes, as well as what other programs or companies have found encouraging their development.
