Cloudflare announced Project Pangea, a new initiative to improve internet access for underserved communities around the world.

This allows Cloudflare to offer a secure, affordable way to expand access to the internet that can grow with, and contribute to, the sustainability of these networks, as well as be ready for any new networks that launch.

"HUBS is a cooperative of community networks in Scotland with a goal of enabling reliable, fast internet through affordable technical solutions. By connecting rural areas with internet infrastructure and services, we can give people in those communities access to and representation on the internet," said Gordon Hughes, Executive Director of HUBS CIC. "Cloudflare's Project Pangea will help make it easy for networks to ensure affordability and reliability for the community while also feeling at ease that they're secure and protected."

"At guifi.net, we welcome the contribution of a leading company such as Cloudflare to the community networks ecosystem. Project Pangea addresses the recurrent blocking factor of internet access in a meaningful manner from a privileged position," said Ramon Roca, President of the Guifi.net Foundation.

"From our work on the Internet for All initiative all the way through the new Edison Alliance, the World Economic Forum has expanded access to the internet and spurred global cooperation on the public goods of cybersecurity, digital trust, and good governance of technology. We welcome Cloudflare's Project Pangea as a valued contributor to a more equal, accessible, and trustworthy global internet."

"Today, we are excited to see the launch of Cloudflare's Project Pangea for the approach it is taking to help communities benefit from more affordable access to the global internet backbone."
