      Same, decentralized mesh networks would be the equivalent of a “federated internet”. No one person owning the infrastructure.

      If this were to become mainstream the mesh would become the “Internet”, with enough nodes, pcs and servers.

      And in the meantime where one mesh does not “connect” to another, traffic could be routed through the “old internet” by one or more exit nodes connected to the “old internet”.

          I believe you are correct.

          I was imagining “into the future” though, where everyone has a device that meshes with like devices, creating a internet of connect devices to transport data over large distances. All decentralized, if one node goes down traffic routes a different way in the mesh.

          Think Cellphone Towers for examples, but the idea is everyone would have their own device at home (or on them) that instead creates the mesh and simultaneously access the mesh.
