geographic location doesn't map to topology
Presumably, one could prototype something simple and cheap at L2 level with WGS 84->MAC (about ~m^2 resolution), custom switch firmware and GBIC for longish (1-70 km) distances, but without a mesh it won't work.I'm sorry, but I am very afraid of "Central Authority".
