Wow. Meshcube. A tiny (!) wireless router containing open source mesh networking software. This (or something like it) is the building block of the utopian wireless future. I am no longer very sure we will get there (where "there" is a totally decentralized network,) but at least the technology is becoming available.
I guess the first large scale tests will probably come in disaster areas. Just drop a few dozen (or hundreds) of these over an area for immediate ad hoc communications infrastructure. Very cool.
