The MBONE is and will continue to be a 'hacker only' technology that few
people can participate with.  If you want something for the masses, you
need to rethink things and come up with a new solution.

I agree totally.  Following the analogy, what's needed is a new
technology, not the same technology.  If you want phone service in your
mountain cabin, you need something completely different like satellite
cellular.  The existing solution is simply not valid for the masses.
