You can't create a culture of freedom and innovation, but you can build a system whose nature fosters the growth of this culture. Thus ...

  1. This is the WirelessCommonsDefinition.

  2. Non-discriminatory routing.
  3. Must scale with volunteer work force and rapid growth.
    1. Organic growth - cells, frogs and lillypads etc.
    2. Dynamic routing - mesh / ad-hoc routing (probably not layer 2).
  4. Best effort!
  5. Distributed Ownership
  6. Open code and open protocols.
  7. Faults isolation.
  8. Anonymous access (re. SoftSecurity)

  9. End to end. Dumb network, smart ends.
  10. Responsibility: Local and global.
  11. Must be useful! Content!
  12. Hopefully helps create an innovation commons.
