This is good news. I always imagined that if the RIAA and MPAA had their way and P2P was shut out of the internet then people would form a second internet connecting directly with dial up modems. Of course, to do that each computer would need multiple modems and multiple phone lines to build the network.
But with Wi-Fi you only need one card to make multiple connections, and it doesn't need a hard-wire infrastructure. Eventually open source projects will pop up that will do what Green Packet is doing here. Neighborhood wireless networks will form all around the world that will become more interconnected as more users bridge the gaps in between. A wireless internet will form parallel to the hard wire internet with millions of cross connections to unite them.
