I simply love and embrace ideas like this.

But why creating something new when there are projects available like OpenWRT or DD-Wrt or Freifunk Firmware wich creates a Mesh-Network that works quite good? The only thing you need is standard Wi-Fi routers and those firmwares.

There are quite a few different projects out there. Ultimately, the one that gets the most adoption, will win. Hopefully, that one is also the best one, but as it becomes the defacto mesh technology, more and more people will join to work on it, add technology from other projects, and improve on it. So let it be chosen through natural selection.

I suspect they'll merge rather than compete.
