The core of the research consists of four case studies of non profit networks: the Amsterdam community provider, The Digital City (DDS); the early years of the nettime mailinglist community; a history of the European new media arts network Syndicate; and an analysis of the streaming media network Xchange. The research describes the search for sustainable community network models in a climate of hyper growth and increased tensions and conflict concerning moderation and ownership of online communities.engCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 3.0 NetherlandsInternet CultureCriticism1990s79110.25969/mediarep/19227
