Networking for All (AllNet): networks by and for people
Electronic communication generally uses wires or fixed infrastructure.
However, most networking technology is also designed to support
peer-to-peer communications. AllNet is a study in using such technology
to support communications both using but especially going beyond the
centralized network.
Like many networking technologies, AllNet benefits from network effects —
the network is designed to be most useful the more people use it.
After a brief technical overview to describe the accomplishments and
challenges to date, this talk focuses on the future potential of such
technology, particularly aiming to inspire creative ways of motivating
people to participate in the network.
