After watching this video I really think this is the future of the internet. I’m tired of paying such high costs to my ISP only for it to go down. Imagine always having a reliable internet connection at a fraction of the cost.

    Not really in a situation where I can watch a video without potentially annoying someone right now, but

    A municipal mesh network isn’t a bad idea, but I worry about what security measures are in place, effectively securing a wireless network with hundreds of independent stations feels like it wouldn’t be trivial.

    And surely this will need a WAN gateway to the internet somewhere, so it’ll only be as reliable as the route to that uplink.

    This might have all been addressed in the video though, I’ll see if I can find an article about it.
