A community network is an information aggregator focused on compiling resources for a specific geographic community and providing communications forums. In addition, community networks strive to provide public access to on-line resources through a variety of technical, educational and outreach mechanisms. Traditional Public Fora are designated as streets, sidewalks, and parks and awarded the broadest protections allowing only time, place and manner restrictions. In addition to the time, place and manner restrictions, the state is permitted to completely close this type of public space. And the third category of public fora is other state-controlled property where free speech would interfere with the stated purposes of that property and where that space has not been designated or traditionally open to free expression.
