The recent auctioning of wireless bandwidth in various countries indicates that the service provided by Telcos over these networks will be very expensive. A new type of architecture is currently evolving as a low cost alternative cellular wireless service by allowing the users to play the role of a wireless network operator. Some users of the current Internet may install a low cost base station based on their needs and interconnection between these base stations will form a grid of wireless Internet. This paper provides a survey on related work that either uses Ad-hoc mobile networking or a combination of fixed and wireless networking. Finally we present an alternate architecture and describe new issues that arise from this new type of architecture.
