Back in 2005, Technology Review editor Jason Pontin was looking for ideas for his next column. I suggested that he look at mesh networks, which he did.

Now the latest issue of TR has the TR35 – the top innovators under 35 – has a great profile on twenty five year old Sanjit Biswas of Meraki Networks. He is bringing mesh to the masses – and often the poor masses.

Watch as mesh networks slowly but surely make their way into the mainstream.
