This document discusses the concept of an "Ecological Internet" and some of the issues involved in developing it. An Ecological Internet would be global social infrastructure that is developed through consensus rather than markets alone, facilitates new Internet users in environmentally sound ways, and harmonizes with human societies and the environment. Key issues include how to incorporate new users and local cultures, move away from market-driven development, maintain innovation, and ensure proper global coordination. The goal is to avoid mistakes made with other infrastructures and shape the Internet's continued evolution in a sustainable manner.
