Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and implementing a Wi-Fi sharing community or global Wi-Fi network are provided. According to one implementation, a method includes a step of providing, for an owner of each of a plurality of independent Wi-Fi networks, an opportunity to enroll as a member of a Wi-Fi sharing community. For enrollment, each member agrees to designate a portion of bandwidth of the member's Wi-Fi network for use by other members as a hotspot. Also, the method includes a step of issuing a digital certificate to each member to allow the member to utilize any Wi-Fi network in the Wi-Fi sharing community.
