In Germany, there is http://freifunk.net/en/ http://freifunk.net/en/ (the English wepage is a bit sparse) which has the capabilities to do mesh networking where nodes are dense enough. Since this is rarely the case, it's a great way for people to share their internet connections with the world without taking on any liability. All Freifunk data is routed through their VPN, and they are registered as a provider, so they're not liable under Störerhaftung.
- nitinics 11y agoOne of the strategy NYCMesh took for where line of sight was not available was to tunnel through the Internet to mesh. This would enable anyone to join the mesh without line of sight requirement, and once more and more people join and the density increases, they can get their dependency on Internet Tunnels away, by connecting/hopping through line-of-sight nodes.
