The fact that the usable bandwidth resulting from ad-hoc mesh wiki would be tiny compared to broadband connections doesn't mean this sort of thing isn't worth trying: a few tens of kilobits a second is plenty for speech, and even a few hundred bits per second useful for basic text messaging.
it seemed that the 'freedombox' was targeted at (or so I thought from the snippet I read) striking a blow against regimes that cut off network access during 'high stress' periods. A few kbps would still be better than nothing :) of course, a coffee grinder (or something more sophisticated that'd be available to the repressive regime du jour) can wipe out that few kbps easily enough as well. -chris
