Mesh networking has been around since the 1970s as 'packet radio'

Thanks for interrupting my ignorance, Peter. It's unfortunate that my avid teen-age romance with ham radio ended so suddenly in the late sixties, when I moved away to a Vietnam demonstration torn liberal arts college at 15, and my mother informed me that my 2 element quad antenna blew off the roof in a hurricane. Packet radio is a term I'm sure I would be more familiar with had I kept current with my QST subscription instead of trapsing overland to India in the early 70s in search of a more intimate dialog with the world than I was used to having in CW.

Mesh is in tanks, ships and other DOD entities, and has been for years.

Given that mesh has been around so long in the public domain, why has it taken so long to standardize and package it for the masses in the wireless IP era? How might a prudent investor place a reasonable bet on the diffusion of such a technology and how long a time horizon might be necessary for such an investment to bear fruit?
