      • Mesh Networks's Mea, architecturally similar to Ricochet but with a couple neat new ideas
      • Rebuttal to the predictable objection that the two systems can't be compared because Ricochet is a packet-switched ``data service'' while 3G is a ``phone service'' or a ``hybrid'' circuit- and packet-switched service

      • Why the routing protocols used in L2 switches, while cheap and convenient, are doomed
      • Replacing VLAN-like function with L3 switches
      • Why switching needs to be done by custom ASIC's, not by a CPU connected to some Ethernet MAC's
