Mesh Networks are taking hold thanks to FCC killing Net Neutrality.

Interesting article.   NYC, Detroit and other have about 30,000 users now doing this.

Is Cincinnati too far behind?

Here's some info from the article:

"Mesh wireless networks have already been deployed across the world, from New York’s NYC Mesh, Detroit’s Equitable Internet Initiative to eastern Afghanistan’s FabFi — though that was eventually shut down under pressure from local telecoms — to rural communities in South Africa."

"One of the most sophisticated mesh wireless networks is Guifi.net, a community network in Spain that has grown from a single node in 2004 to more than 30,000 in 2016. It has spawned the creation of local ISPs that connect its users to fiber Internet.

In the short time since the FCC’s net neutrality ruling, there have already been a number of new mesh internet projects popping up, including Honolulu Mesh in Hawaii, while a group in Los Angeles just announced its first meet-up to begin planning."

AFAICT Cincinnati has no current meshnet initiatives. Would love to see this change.
