I like this idea.
It can work for a small group of peers that are close enough to be
able to connect to each others through a high-speed wifi connection,
but it's hard to apply for a city-wide group (and that is not a
problem).
If someone had 6 neighbors with 128kbit/s each they will all do pretty
good in sharing their data.
It will also solve the issue of traffic tracking because your requests
can be sent through someone else's Internet connection.
Is it possible to implement such a solution?
