Critical Technological Networks in Greece, from 1950s to the present days

The purpose of this study is to highlight a thoughtful feature of the Greek state that modern approaches or theories for state formation neglect or frequently overlook. The study resides at the crossroads of Science, Technology, and Society Studies, as well as the History of Technological Infrastructures and Political History. Along with these perspectives, there is one that views the state as a techno-scientific power network, i.e. with a focus on culture (as opposed to the traditional approaches of the State as a military-fiscal entity or as an autonomous one). In this study, the term "culture" is used dynamically as an explanatory historical category for socio-technical transformation. In this regard, within the broader context of comprehending the State, this study focuses on the discourses on state design, and the strategies and plans for the governance of space and the population. The co-production of governance with science and technology is critical for resolving specific issues during this process. The focus of this study is the co-production of the Greek State with the telephone network and relevant infrastructures. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how telecommunications networks are co-produced with national and international state technology policies, corporate strategies, and tactics of the local engineering and technical community. The period of automation and the period of transition to electronic services and circuits (digitalization) in a network based on Fiber To The Home architecture, i.e. with fiber optics to the subscriber's location, are two major historical periods I distinguish as socio-technical transitions for access to the telephony service in this study. Regardless of the governance culture, access to the network or its services continues to be a thorn in the democratic character of modern societies and in the notion of telephony / internet as a "universal service," that is, a service accessible to all citizens and residents of the Greek territory, without geographical and social constraints. Through this study, I highlight the socio-technical mechanisms that shape and reproduce this issue, which represents the fabric of democracy in the socio-technical transformations of the Greek state, where, in the end, the problem of access is reduced to a problem of re-forming the Greek state.
