I’ll drop this again, network layer is not really my bailiwick, but to my mind, the only thing stopping mesh networks from taking off is a lack of motivation, the tech is everywhere, especially in high density environments.
People generally don’t need the full speed of their internet all, or even most of the time, they mostly buy a speed they can afford that makes their big downloads (e.g. games, updates, perhaps streaming) more tolerable. If a mesh system could aggregate a bunch of users connections for speed they could probably buy cheaper plans knowing that when they need it they can have the speed.
Anyone knowledgeable in the ways of meshtastic or other such, does it, or anything else you know of fill this niche ? The wallet is always a good motivator…
Presumably ISPs etc would quickly make it against terms of service, but if there’s some bucks in it a lot of people won’t care…, and how can they tell?
