I think the standard is 802.11 since most people are using this and if two standards are used that would mean
interoperability between people, and two groups would develop. I think the general concenous would be whatever
802.11 gear works. As to a backbone, I think most people will be using each other in a criss-cross fashion to
connect to each other, so a backbone as such won't develop.
