GPSIP getting internet to the most remote and poorest of the poor

Please leave comments about standards already there for the technology I describe and don't compete cooperate and leave me know if you are interested in getting involved. On hindsight these ideas are primative and should have been done 50 years ago compared to modern telecoms but if there is nothing better there may still be room for these ideas. Radio hacking options Firstly the  https://www.raspberrypi.org can use an io pin with a wire connected to it as a radio transmitter using gnu radio. Its a total hack using a square pwm pulse width modulated signal rather than a clean sine wave this generates interference at harmonic frequencies. Its range at FM is only 50 meters, this could be greatly increased using ham radio frequencies and a simple amplifier. A software defined radio dongle for as little as 20 euro on alibaba can be used to receive signals. For something more advanced a HackRF about 180 euro from alibaba can be used. This could transmit 50 miles at low frequencies. Low...

GPSIP Overview preliminary ideas

These are my first ideas they are improved in later posts ZeroTier  allows phone to phone subnets which is some of what this idea is about.   The protocol uses ubers excellent library  Uber h3 geo  which maps out a globe in hexagons like a football. It's great but bloated. GPS Internet addresses initially hve a gps location and a mac address of wifi 0 or eth 0 of the device. I plan to have connect to such and such mac address at within 50km of gps location 52.1 45 added to the linux kernel and h3geo distributed servers on raspberrypi's and android phones also do their own domain name service using an android service/daemon called loverevolution the dns servers will serve gps areas and countries. The gps address will change as the mobile phone moves, this will be dealt with as the mac address is unique and will stay within a h3 hexagon of around 10km for quite a while normally. the loverevolution app will notify the h3 loverrevolution server when it moves out of a hex...
