You want a video? We could arrange something like that: 1. Raise money. Buy tens of dreamplug[1] at 149$ each. 2. Compile Stackless on one of those. It should be doable, though I never tried. Install netsukuku on them. 3. Deploy those plug computers in houses to form a quite wide mesh. I am curious about the range you can cover with the radio chip built in them, especially when passing several walls. 4. Make a connection of some sort between very distant end nodes. The end points could be laptops, instead of plug computers. 5. Surf the Internet from a laptop connected to any one of the plug computers. 6. Make a professional video describing the deploy and the results. 7. Profit. Since I do not know for sure that stackless will work on a ARM (there is a bit of assembly language to take into account) I recommend this test as step 0.
