Has anyone been exposed to Wifi Direct? This is Wifi peer-to-peer sharing without access points. Access points as they function now would be perfect for connecting user handsets/devices but something like wifi-direct could be modded to run on access points and to serve as a cheap backhaul link protocol to interconnect APs.
The wifi spectrum is unlicensed, at least in this country (for now), so modding cellular handsets to "mesh" with each, assuming that someone were able to create a viable mesh protocol, would have handsets broadcasting in licensed spectrum without permission from the FCC. Probably something to avoid...
