Mesh connectivity; no more ISP's needed and no way to stop us now!

I just finished reading a fantastic article in Scientific American about mesh connectivity.  It was in the March 2012 edition.

This is about having an internet web that cannot be shut down like Mubarak's Egyptian government  shut down of ISPs last year.  It is called "Freedom Box" and it is being developed right now.  The website is here:

People can donate to them on Kickstarter.  


Eventually, you can have a Freedom Box and they are working to make it part of your phone or other device.  It is based on free software and free connectivity between other people's boxes.  If the government wants to shut down the internet, people would still be able to connect via these Freedom Boxes and still organize.  In other words, free speech would be maintained!  


This is the future of freedom for The People.  I will support them on Kickstarter.
