Mobile Meshing, maybe not yet...

So the Swedes have come up with a technology to let mobiles talk directly to each other without basestations up to an radius of one kilometer and act as a node.

With a radius like that and limited bandwith (if they are only talking about text messages) this would not really be that revolutionary. Of course noding will extend this limit, but as power is still the scarcest resource on mobiles, that won't fly at this point.

Meshing with mobiles will at some point be a revolutionary technology, but I don't see Terranova's offering yet taking us there. A lot of under lieng technologies need to grow older first.
