I didn't read the pdf. I have no patience for those things.

The idea reminds me of the Xnet, an encrypted internet within the 
internet as portrayed in the book "Little Brother." In the book, kids 
are running Xboxes with an operating system called ParanoidXbox (a Linux 
variant). They network them using WiFi connections, thus making a new 'net.

I recommend reading the book if you haven't already. The book was 
copyrighted this year, so you can say it's still relevant (especially if 
your government is compromising your freedom in the name of national 
security).

Some of you more hacker-minded individuals will probably find problems 
with the technology, but then again you may not. The author seems to 
have had some good feedback from professionals.
