It makes me cringe everytime someone says Wireless Mesh networks will be the future of the Internet. The fact is, Wireless Mesh networks don't scale well, especially over long distances (coast to coast).
It takes time to transmit a packet from node to node. The latency involved in transmitting a packet long distances over a mesh network would make todays internet unusable. There's a reason the Internet has backbone providers, their job is to send a packet over long distances with as few "hops" as possible.
A wireless mesh internet would be like going back to using the telegraph.

Yeah I get what you mean there. Thats why I made mention of future technology. Subspace communications?
Who knows.But honestly as a personal pref for myself. If it had even ISDN speeds I would be happy with that. I don't need all the fancy flash loaded websites and all that.
