Personal Telco *is* 100% volunteers.  Our bigger problem is that we
don't have a cohesive network from a routing point of view.  We are an
aggregation of independently-served networks.  So the advantage of
this for us isn't so great.  We could get along fine with the /48 we
got from hurricane electric and tunnel between nodes.  If we were
purely wireless and/or backhauled to a common point, it would be more
useful.
