Sounds like a genius idea to me. In theory at least.

Practicality is an issue though. Mostly because of our current regulation, must be said.

  • s/because/thanks

    Our current legislation gave us a relatively "clean" frequency space. Would be so much worse without it

    • I thought "because" is a neutral word (I'm not a native speaker). The distinction between regulatory and technological problems is an important one to make - regulations can be changed. E.g. what would happen if we separated a whole band with enough bandwidth for an open mesh network?

  • If government regulates away personal sovereignty, you just tell a hundred million people they have personal sovereignty, and watch them decide if it's worth it to impede.

Ok, I have the following idea: instead of having to do house chores ourselves, our phones do them. How? Well, at night they transform, like in Transformers, into household robots and do all the cleaning, maintenance and food prepping. Then when you wake up it transforms back into a simple phone.

Genius right?
