Julian Oliver@mro @gert I'm a huge proponent of HAM, Software Defined Radio solutions, packet radio etc, but in an emergency expertise - rarefied knowledge - becomes a single point of failure. When the local radio or mesh networking expert is trapped by flood or a barrage of bombs, the community that grew to depend on them is no better off.
Expertise must be distributed for there to be resilience in a community.
