@hazelnot i personally think laser comms are very interesting but they're of course unidirectional. anyway louis pouzin whose work was essentially stolen by the americans for ARPANET advocated for the term "catenet" for "concatenated" and where crossing network boundaries becomes an explicit process instead of completely opaque to the user as occurs now (which contributes to network unreliability)

@hipsterelectron @hazelnot my network teacher in the late 00's was also involved in providing internet to people not reached by local major ISP. The usual recipe was directional wifi over a few kilometers then standard wifi to the reception point. They also taught me about sneaker network (put data on offline storage, walk to other computer). I could see 👟net used for "the computers I can walk to, like the local library and a few restaurant". Maybe only the library will use 😺net to get more book
