    I didn’t read the whole doc. How would this prevent kill switch network if the government can just tell internet service providers to shutdown the network?

      Reticulum is a backbone mesh. It speaks on all communication interfaces. Bluetooth, Wifi, LoRa, Serial.

      Conceptually, if you can see your neighbors wifi, you could mesh. Suburbs could be pretty well connected. I doubt it’ll scale past a small suburb, though. If someone has a high tower, you could LoRa line of sight to anywhere. The upside is, if you have a faster connection that LoRa, it can use it. If you just have LoRa, you can chat or maybe send small images or low quality voice chat.
