Maybe the tech is wrong but the NEED is correct (Score 1)

Most people see the need for something like this to happen, the open source idea in the realm of communications. There are things like this happening in all realms of life. People have learned to gather freely (www.welcomehome.org). People have learned to build communities that defy expectations of money and regulations (Christiania). People have come together to build open source software, which defies money and regulations. The internet can be regulated, therefore it is nessesary to go elseware to create what many of use experienced with freenet, bbs, the 'good ol days' of the internet. It was possible for freenets to exist, so it seems to me that this is equally as possible. The technology might change, maybe it won't be 802.xx, but people will come together to communicate freely.
