17. Technical question here
I don't know a great deal about wireless communications, so please forgive me for asking, but if one has access to three or four overlapping wireless connections, and uses all of them, does or does not that effectively increase their overall bandwidth?

Seems to me that hundreds of small, overlapping wireless connections would result in one huge wireless hotspot, and with so many people contrbuting to it, it could effectively amount to one huge supercomputer if they were all using distributed computing...

I'm just thinking out loud here. From a technogeek standpoint, the idea is actually pretty cool.
