[MLB-WIRELESS] internet tunnelling between nodes

[Rowan Crowe]

My original idea was that it could easily be free, making use of
underutilised transfer allowances on existing (residential) broadband
links. There does need to be some mechanism in place to ensure that a
tunnel won't exceed hard transfer limits, or grab too much bw on an
unlimited use account.

Judging by some of the heated replies so far there's more to it than just
tech issues... ;)

Cheers.
