  • Abstract
    The near future could take cooperation among mobile Internet users to a new level of sharing wireless access and interacting without any network infrastructure at all. The basic technologies exist - all we need is a bit of altruistic behavior and the right mobile apps penetrating the market at scale. Here, the author looks at an individual serving others as an ISP.
