Dave,

I don't challenge the claim that wireless routing is going to be challenging.

I do question the claim that there will be many more nodes of the
wireless/nomadic kind than fixed, unless I'm missing something.
Even if wireless becomes ubiquitous to replace alot of short cables, there
is no reason I can see that this needs to contribute to the global routing
problem...  Am I missing something?
