Do you remember Napster? We're still seeing the impact of the original peer-to-peer file (read: music) sharing program today. According to Paul Gardner-Stephen, the power of music labels has diminished dramatically as a result of these kinds of activities. In fact, has been re-distributed to the people.
“The democratisation of online music is one example where the internet has eroded the monopoly power of music labels returning some portion of that power to the general public, without bankrupting those enterprises.”

Paul has explored what is essentially a #Napster equivalent that will compete with the #mobile telecommunication giants. He believes that the advent of powerful, programmable, #portable digital #devices (e.g. #smartphones) are a key factor in this eventual #democratisation of mobile #telecommunications

so this is incredibly cool - mesh self orginizing phone network

The Serval Project – named after the problem-solving African wildcat – consists of two systems. The first is a temporary, self-organizing, self-powered mobile network for disaster areas, formed with small phone towers dropped in by air.
The second, and the one being tested in the outback, is a permanent system that requires no infrastructure and creates a mesh-based phone #network between #Wi-Fi enabled #mobile #phones, and eventually specifically designed mobile phones the researchers have called #Batphones, that can operate on unlicensed #frequencies.
