At a large event, such as another GroundZero, there will never be enough
bandwidth nor cpu power for all the info requests on such an event. No
mesh network would be able to take the huge amount of traffic involved in
such a crisis situation.
A mesh network would keel over in all the VoIP traffic alone and even then

I would use something we can use NOW than build a fictional infastructure
that does not exist even in reality. I don't see any 802.11g VoIP handheld
radios nor anything remotely close on the market.
Lets use what is here now.
but true, a billion is a lot. you'd think they could find a slightly more economical way to do it. but as long as the Homeland Security spigot is open, you can expect proposals like these to help make it flow faster into NYC.
