"A MANET of a thousand nodes could support an entire battalion without
the need for manual network setup, management and maintenance that comes
from 'switchboard'-era communications," said Mark Rich, DARPA Program
Manager. "This could provide more troops with robust services such as
real-time video imagery, enhanced situational awareness and other
services that we have not yet imagined."

Yikes...leave it to DARPA to give good technologies a bad rap.
