Re: 24Mbit/s to 250 separate internet connections
@goldcd,
"Yes, but you are ignoring contention here.
It's a pisser when you hit it, but broadly we aren't needing to all use our max capacity at once.
Plus, when you can throw up a 6Gbps connection in the air, you don't have to think any more about "*a* link to my village"."
Indeed, 6Gbps is 6Gbps. Never look a bandwidth gift-horse in the mouth!
"IMHO meshing and caching are going to be the next leap - we're all consuming huge amounts of data, but once you've cached the top 1000 items on youtube, top 500 on netflix and all the rest.."
Mesh is really, really hard. It's OK in static deployments where a network can learn the disposition of its nodes and adapt accordingly, possibly aided by adding extra nodes here and there where the mesh is thin. But its difficult to get serious bandwidth out of it. Mesh-on-the-move has always been nigh on impossible for all but trivial bandwidths.
