To me, one of the big unmet opportunities is that today, nearly every house has WiFi installed, and most of them can 'hear' their nearest neighbor's signals. What could be done with this opportunity? We don't know, because nobody has implemented anything using this.
Clearly the right thing to do is canvas the streets swapping any users remaining telco owned ones over to user owned ones. Install a real wifi OS on them. Setup a second band across them all for a giant meshnet. Or turn them into the worlds biggest radio astronomy project. Unfortunately those radios have no known hardware API to get at the raw RF.
