Comment on Why wireless mesh networks won’t save us from censorshipparent

People are only going to buy the equipment in the first place if they can check their Facebook over it. A network that's designed only for freedom fighters ends up not getting enough nodes to reach critical mass (see Freenet). People might tolerate an Internet-incompatible network if it also came with lots of free warez, though.

Piracy is definitely the draw for this. Enough to make it practical? Maybe - it depends on how many good alternatives to piracy exist.
