Be on the look-out for a really interesting comment on the web 3.0 article by Bitscape, an excerpt of which is included here:
“I envision pervasively peer-to-peer, large scale mesh networking as a potential antidote to the encroaching threats of net surveillance, transparent filtering/censorship, and centralized identity tracking…
In order to make it work, we’re going to need to develop protocols and interfaces which allow direct node-to-node communication via scalable mesh networks in a manner that doesn’t rely on any centralized servers or access points, and allows the user to “surf the mesh†in a seamless and easy to comprehend manner — much like the invention of the “web browser†made “the Internet†accessible and comprehensible to the layperson.”

[...] There is some chatter over on Twitter right now about building wireless mesh networks as an alternative to the more centralized web services. We touched on that subject here briefly in the past, but it’s worth being explored in more detail. Does anyone have good links, info and opinions on the subject of staying connected in a world of potentially limited and centrally-controlled internet technology? Is there a starter kit somewhere with free and open-source instructions, theory and methodology for starting wireless neighborhood mesh networks? [...]
