Beautiful. An age-old techno-anarchist pipe dream, mesh networking, co-opted by the biggest of corporations. Note the language used. Users are "neighbors". The network becomes "stronger". You "support community extended coverage benefits".

It's like something straight out of Zero HP Lovecraft's fiction.




I wonder how hard it would be to transform this Amazon network into an independent mesh network, out of Amazon's control.


Seeing as the smart TVs update themselves into submission, one would have to be covert enough not to trigger suspicion before disabling all update mechanisms.
