Geographic routing completely eliminates need for expensive routing and admin traffic. Name services? Who needs name services?

Actually, even a MAC has enough address space to label entire Earth surface with ~1 address/m^2, IPv6 addresses are plenty better here. And of course no one forces you to use actual IP addresses. You can sure tunnel TCP/IP through a geographic routing protocol. > Not so. Self-organasing mesh networks appear to have some interesting > properties.
