I am all for an increasingly wireless local loop, but I find the peer-to-peer wireless mesh unconvincing. It strikes me as a nirvana notion that tends to distract attention both from existing cellular advances and from feasible fiber deployments. Wavelength muxing is demonstrably practical, and there are several million customers for Qualcomm's EVDO in Japan and Korea. But an endless shuffle of radio paths and handoffs is a latency and reliability nightmare.

I find that the U.S. technology community is increasingly preoccupied with pipeless dreams and increasingly uninterested in actual technologies that are advancing a headlong pace in Japan and Korea, which while we were out gained a 40-1 per capita bandwidth edge.
