The crazy patchwork quilt of regulations applying to amateur use of
radio spectrum, is my guess. Now, I would add the depressingly high
chance of being invaded by the masses if/when we build something big
enough to be useful. We've already built one network only to have it
invaded and overrun; why would we expect anything different to happen
to the new one?
