Many NEOs -> many batteries. Few NEOs -> few power need. Scaleable, isn't it? I know I'm simplifying. I'm not saying it's trivial. > And there will be added complexity because the system will have to cope with > all > the NEOs moving around, constantly changing routes from A to B etc. > It may not be impossible, but it's not going to be easy. I think the guys behind Netsukuku or BATMAN are already aware of those problems. E.g. the previously mentioned link says: Netsukuku is designed to handle an unlimited number of nodes with minimal CPU and memory resources. I don't know for sure if they write sentences like that one without having a clue. > Apart from that, systems like this are like public roads.

We should think about a way to enforce such rules for when we need them. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
