For awhile now, I have been interested in learning how to connect small(ish) groups of people. Think about how small most peoples lives would get if the internet went down. People would probably still be driving for a little bit but eventially the gas station would need to order a new shipment of gasoline (and you need the internet to do that.) At this stage in the game I am not rely interested in trying to connect the entire country, connect an entire state/region, at this time I am interested in creating an alternative internet that connects maby a few rual counties.
New York City is doing something like what I am talking about, its called NYC Mesh

A larger Meshnet is used by the country of Spain

I think that I might need to start looking at services various telecomunications companies offer, but I would appriciate it if some one else could offer me some guiding words!

I have a question that I would like to ask, at time stamp 6:03 satellites are mentioned...does that mean that if there is a solar storm that breakes the 'sky satellites' then the -power talkie- will not work?
