Making a Mesh on the Move
The Guardian has an article about some of the companies that are working on mesh network solutions, and discusses how they could be a real threat to 3G. It's amazing how many people want to talk about threats to 3G, when 3G itself hasn't really gotten that far. At this point, I'd say 3G is its own biggest threat, and 3G supporters have plenty to worry about without focusing on all the various other early stage technologies out there. Not that they shouldn't be aware of what's going on, and prepared to work with those technologies, in some way, but there are bigger concerns right now.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
