    Interesting....did you ever read of Nikola Teslas inventions? He had developed ways to harness electricity from the atmosphere with a machine the size of a washing machine and a antenna. It was said that Edison and his cronies did him in as his inventions were light years ahead of what Edison was doing and undercut the concepts Edision was then developing.

    Teslas inventions would have created a vastly different world then the one we are in now. No centralized power sources etc. The future isn't bright if all we have is variations on the current themes of controlling and doling out energy as it is now.

    I agree, Tesla had great ideas with his power experiments.

    Also I think that the internet should be more decentralised so that fewer big corps are controlling it and doling out bandwidth and access.

    I hope that the long range wi-fi airwaves that are supposed to be coming will allow large LANs, but since they are auctioning the frequencies, I don't think it will be open to all like 802.11 is. Wait until enough new long range equipment gets out there and we understand the concept, then the pirates will begin..
