hi!

i just found this discussion about mesh scalability: 
(http://dailywireless.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2750) 

and then there is a nice presentatiopn from david reed, but it`s more about 
open spectrum:
How wireless networks scale: the illusion of spectrum scarcity 
(http://www.reed.com/dprframeweb/dprframe.asp?section=openspec)

greetings, 
bruno
