ISPs should start censoring Google. See how long an idea like this holds up after that.

As noted in a previous comment, it wold be nice to have some sort of evidence of that. Not that it would surprise me, mind you.

I'm a Mormon myself and I find this quite appalling. To set someone up like this and dump them after they've made a serious investment is rude at the very least. What's even more sad to me is that there isn't room to adjust the pub to also work as a restaurant. While I hate alcohol I love going to pubs when I've overseas. They usually have the best food.

Regardless of what's behind this I'm quite sorry for the owner. He should not have been stabbed in the back like this. No Mormon who actually pays attention to the principles of the religion would have wanted that.

Concerning the author's comment on battery life, could one potentially recycle an old phone to act as a node in this network? Seems many of us get a new one every few years anyway.

If you can find a way to add privacy, then this could be a great way to return power to consumers and stick it to the man. Or at least have some leverage in convincing major companies to act more consume-friendly. I for one want to see lower prices and the end of the long-distance tax we have now.
