a detour into geekry for a sec…
decentralized “open frequency” wireless network + peer to peer services == completely decentralized information structure. The way of the future?

I’ve been reading:

dev.wirelesscommons.org
And thinking a lot about enhancements to current peer to peer applications. Things like gnutella meets freedb, allmusic.com, and fairtunes.
