Yes, this could be an intermediary state between a full–blown mesh network which everything is fully peered, and a fully centralised network such as today's Internet. It all depends on everybody carrying their own weight, though, and of all, that seems to be the farthest away concept so far. Phones and other mobile devices are consuming an increasingly sizeable chunk of the pool and those devices are barely able to connect and to their work, much less work for others due to battery restrictions, which are ultimately bound by the laws of physics. This is also the reason Aether will most probably never have a mobile version. Not until they finally make nuclear fusion work, and compact it enough to make batteries with it! Shame, for I would love to see it happen.
