The guifi·net Foundation maintains collaboration agreements and agreements with different companies, professionals and associations that act as network operators and service providers.

The operators and providers of guifi·net collaborate and cooperate to develop and maintain the Telecommunications Network as a Common Good, a public good open to all people. Likewise, on this infrastructure, they can carry out economic activity and share to offer telecommunications services to end users with different prices, features and service levels. The guifi·net Foundation does not offer telecommunications services to end users.

People who are clients of these operators committed to the Common Good can be patrons of the Commons Network and have the right to enjoy the tax incentives provided for in Law 49/2002.

This Law establishes incentives aimed at new forms of participation in society for the protection, development and stimulation of the general interest, thus becoming a rule that eminently encourages private collaboration in achieving general interest goals, with attention and recognition to the increasingly prominent presence of the private sector in the task of protecting and promoting actions characterized by the absence of profit motive, the sole purpose of which is of a general and legal nature.

It is because the guifi·net network is a telecommunications infrastructure with the format of a Common Good and because the Law guarantees it to enjoy the aforementioned advantages, in the form of tax incentives, that the operators committed to the Common Good dedicate a part of what they receive monthly from end users and clients to cover the services they have contracted, and on the other hand, as a donation for the development and maintenance of the Commons Network, being a simple, pure and irrevocable donation in favor of the private Foundation for the Open, Free and Neutral Network, guifi·net, which is responsible for ensuring that this destination is met.

The invoice sent to a client and end user will include this detail of the amount for services and the amount of the donation.

• If you wish to receive advice or information on how to take advantage of the aforementioned tax incentives, the operators and providers that offer their services through guifi·net with an Agreement with the Foundation or if you have any doubts, contact us.

• If you are an operator or provider who does not have the signed collaboration Agreement and want to offer services, we will inform you how to do so.
