And thats when the gov makes them illegal....in fact they probably already are. It's actually disappointing that because of radio frequency regs mesh networks would otherwise be so effective that they would solve the last mile. Just look how effective wifi is with the tiny portion of spectrum it uses, imagine giving it a gigahertz. So much is wasted on broadcast systems.

I actually think a lot of what we are seeing now is a covert and overt push to reign in the internet. It has threaten too much of the old guards power. Look at the recent scene bust. Many systems have been put in place now to enable that. Soon I think most commercial encryption will be made useless, if it is not already.
