When the spectrum is freed, mesh networking will become pervasive, given, free, and at no cost, except maybe a small government tax. 3G as a business model will die. Even homeless could have a 24/7 internet connection, provided they don't sell or lose their pocket computer. What's left is your dependence on centralized services. But I think people will host their web site and send their e-mail[1] before the spectrum is freed. Of course, such an utopia won't happen tomorrow, nor in this decade. But it could happen in the next one. [1] Most people today don't send their e-mails. They ask their web-mail or their ISP to do that for them.
