How Meshnets Are Changing The Face Of The Web

Throughout the course of the last decade, the landscape of the Internet has shifted dramatically as political and corporate control have changed the structure of the network. The threat of the FCC overturning net neutrality, an increasingly powerful oligopoly of ISPs, and corporate and political surveillance online are endangering the state of the Internet as we know it. Groups of engineers and activists have begun to propose ways to resolve these issues, and the advent of inexpensive wireless networking has ignited a movement to create wireless mesh networks called meshnets.

My new article on wireless meshnets and Hyperboria is up over at Make Magazine today.

My talk with Peter Valdez and Kurt Snieckus on wireless meshnets from the HOPE X conference is up on YouTube. Topics include net neutrality, the ISP oligopoly, and corporate/political surveillance on the Internet as we know it, as well as how the advent of wireless meshnets can help solve these problems online. There's also a DIY section on how to connect to Hyperboria and an overview of meshnet technology.
