This seems rational, but it’s too much complexity for too little gain. If no one have solved this problem in the last 10 years, it won’t happen now.

- nitrogen 15y agoThere are some problems worth solving that take longer than 10 years to figure out. Given time, a standard for discovering and connecting to a commercial network will emerge. Cell phones already have something like this with their preferred roaming lists, and AIUI long-haul telecoms will switch call routing and pricing on the fly based on other telecoms' pricing and routing changes. It's a matter of getting the standard designed, ratified (optional step), widely adopted by commercial access point manufacturers, then deployed on end-user devices.
