Before this happens, develop mesh networks in your own communities. Use 802.11b/g routers with OLSR networking. Have a functional community network that is independent of the ISP based internet connectivity. It's not hard to do.

Great idea, but how does one do this???.....Do you have a "make your own mesh network" for Dummies version? Or some links to "how-to's" to point us non-tech people in the right direction? :)

Did any of you Glenn Beck watchdogs send this to Glenn? This needs to be covered on his show.
