This seems preety hefty on ambition and pretty low on details. Is he planning on these wal-wart "servers" acting as TOR nodes? Universally accessable wifi spots? FreeNet nodes, or LAFS servers?
I think what bugs me the most here is that the basic premise appears intrinsically flawed: On Inet-1, everyone can see who you are - it's an artifact of the construction goals originally designed for.
I'd want to see some more meat and less fluff before I looked any deeper.
The (obvious) meme going around is "we'll just set up a mesh". You can stop reading when you see that. A mesh network that does the things these people want it to do is currently rocket-science hard. It can be done, and I'd be the first one celebrating, but from the mouths of these morons its just mental masturbation.
