@battlemesh @vortex @cypherhippie and another, non-tangible thing that's kept artifically scarce, but which is still important to community networks imo: Access to standardization, like at the #IEEE. The #IETF for the internet is awesome and exemplary in their organization and openess. But to propose and vote for changes to the #WLAN or #WiFi standards you need to be a member of the IEEE or WiFi alliance. So you basically have to buy your voting power their for a lot of money.
