Could be interesting to see if he would actually be allowed to sell it in the US.

(Puts on tinfoil hat) - They'd probably track who bought them and target them even harder...

McAfee said D-Central isn't an attempt to create another type of Internet. Instead, D-Central combines many different pieces of technology into a single hardware/app package, compatible with both mobile devices and PCs. From one point of view, it resembles a wireless router. "The device has a range of about three blocks in the city or a quarter of a mile out in the country," said McAfee. But instead of broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal that people use to access the Internet quickly, it broadcasts information that the device's owner wishes to declare public.

So... it's not another kind of Internet... but it broadcasts public information... I'm confused... also how does this protect your privacy, since the wireless signals would surely be traceable?
