Yes. I think this model is perfect for individual Mesh Networks. AFAIK, we are still years away from consumer level quality. But you never know… things change quickly. Once that happens, I think dedicated farmers would also include mesh networking as part of their operations.
I really want to believe it could work out this way, playing nice. But the hard reality is, big ISP monopolies do not play nice. More likely, they will find a way to lobby regulations to ban, disrupt, or hinder, Mesh Network activity in the name of public safety or any other excuse they can make up. We’ll see what happens.

Not really. If you want to distribute (mint) 4.3 Billion Safecoins, you’ll have to introduce it into the economy without reabsorbing it back, otherwise you’d never distribute all the coins.
For example.
1000 GETS (1Gb) cost 1 Safecoin… this assumes the consumer already has 1 Safecoin.
How did that consumer get 1 Safecoin? They bought it from the crowd sale. Okay fine. So that means there will be 0.43 Billion Safecoins able to circulate at launch. How do we distribute the remaining 3.87 Billion Safecoins?
One way or another, there must be a subsidy. In the GET/GET model, the SAFE Network overpays the farmer on GETS.
Example. Consumer pays 1 Safecoin, while the farmer is paid 2 Safecoins.
More coins enter the economy in this way. This can causes all sorts of problems, like runaway inflation. I warned about this event in my Rabbit VS Turtles Analysis. In Solutions # 2 I talk about the total amount of storage on the Network VS the total amount of Safecoins in circulation.
MaidSafe addresses this problem by anchoring Safecoin supply to only increase if Storage capacity increases. And they can measure it using PUTS. See System Docs on Safecoin last paragraph.
Using a PUT/GET model allows us to distribute Safecoins in a more stable way. Once all 4.3 Billion Safecoins have been distributed, we can consider a pure 1 to 1 GET/GET relationship without fear of inflation. Because there will be no subsidy.
I haven’t thought of everything. I’m just a lowly analyst.
