Interest in licence-fee and internet free 868MHz mesh communications seems to be growing. 

People are looking for a means of communication that does not need the internet as a backbone. Some are motivated by cyber-attacks on the internet. Others want it to communicate locally. Some just want to experiment. 

In my view this is still immature much like the internet in the early 1990s.

As more and more people get active, things get better.
