gollark: When has my advice *ever* been wrong (please ignore all times where this has been the case)?
gollark: As planned.
gollark: Indeed.
gollark: There are mesh networks in a few places, but I don't think they've gotten massively wide adoption because the average consumer doesn't really care (and they still need to interact with the regular internet, which is hard and beelike).
gollark: Phones spend tons of battery power on communicating with faraway towers when they could also practically relay data via nearby devices on lower power for non-real-time data.
