What is the problem with using the existing Internet?
No doubt that's fascinating. From a brief read it seems to fit the bill quite nicely from a technological viewpoint. Some potential challenges remain: A lot of people would be willing to buy a $100 repeater for the good of the community, but $999, probably not. Those who purchase the $999 would probably resell, and control, etc. It's proprietary technology, which doesn't cross my eyes too much, ASSUMING all proprietorisms are self-contained. What would be a problem would be Windows-only control software, or inability to connect via normal hardware and software connectors to a machine of any random OS. Then there's the problem that if we ever got this no government, no corporation network running, Google or Sprint or Amazon or T-mobile or whomever could buy Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. and install backdoors, listening posts and tollgates to basically ruin what we did and use it for their cash cow. None of the potential problems I stated above should detract from investigating Ubiquiti Networks or similar equipment. It's really got some potential.
