espanollas Redes Digitales Comunitarias (RDC) se entienden como aquellas redes tipo LAN que permiten el libre acceso inalambrico (utilizando tecnologia Wifi definida por la familia de estandares para inalambricas 802.11 del IEEE) a diferentes tipos de recursos y servicios (disponibles en internet o en una red local) caracterizadas por ser disenadas e implementadas por grupos u organizaciones sin animo de lucro, y que contribuyen efectivamente al mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de las comunidades donde funcionan cuya brecha digital, en general, es significativa. El presente articulo revisa algunas experiencias de RDC en Europa, Asia y Suramerica, en el periodo 2008-2016; y como caso de estudio se puntualiza en la red Buenos Aires Libre, constituida en la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina). La investigacion tiene un perfil prospectivo y plantea una via expedita para superar la marginalidad tecnologica que aqueja comunidades vulnerables latinoamericanas, con Colombia a la cabeza, a traves del acceso abierto, libre y gratuito a la informacion por medios electronicos.
