I don't think that's a problem, since consumer grade routers don't
have enough power to require a licensed operator.  High gain
antennas may be a gray area here, but since these would be pointed
at participating reconfigured routers I don't think that would
raise any eyebrows.

Yup, needs an ethernet connection for user access.  Forwarding a
mesh network router to a conventionally configured WiFi router is
not a problem I have looked at yet, but I believe it should be
easy.  (He said, heedless of Finagle's Ghost hovering over his
