Hi!
I do not agree with it at all! :-)
It never goes like this. You are mixing cause and consequence. It is not
networks you are interested in, but people. So I would do a diagram
where it would be:
1.) few individuals get interested in mesh
2.) they get together and start hack the technology
3.) they want to do something with it, they deploy few nodes where they
have access to
4.) one of them is part of a community in need and uses the technology
to address that need there, this is often the only place where there is
real mesh for long time
5.) more people find the idea interesting, deploy satellite nodes (not
really connected wirelessly)
6.) some of those nodes connect wirelessly, some of those nodes are
deployed in the place where there is no Internet connectivity so a
neighbor is sought to connect to
7.) you start experimenting with long distance links
8.) there is a community in rural areas in need
9.) you connect them with a long link, a mesh network starts there
10.) you start doing a backbone of long links everywhere, nodes which
are not deployed randomly where people have interest, but are designed
where it would be the best for the network as a whole

Hey all,
Realized there was a missing third in the series of basic technical
diagrams that capture the essential elements of the network:
How does the network start and grow?
Attached is a first draft of this diagram, please send comments!
