[W]e had to load all these arguments with a lot of meanings, with ideologies, to make them pass. ‘Electronic citizenship’ ‘teledemocracy’ and so on. We had to exaggerate. In Italy it is by no means clear that this space [CMC] will become a democratic space, because if nobody takes the initiative, the Net will become just the space of the market.

(Guidi, 1995)

Clearly, the rhetoric of virtual democracy was used to sell the wider political goal of a right to universal access to ‘connectivity’: access to communications networks and decommodification of its content. The resulting set of initiatives are distinguished from the others in this book not only by this attempt to place civic networking in a context of universal rights to connection: Bologna’s is more state-centred and one of the most Internet-oriented networks. These two features also have implications for the types of service, information and participation that can take place on the network.
