    Anybody know how it might effect power consumption? I know routers are dirt cheap to run, like $1 a month, but I’m sure it will have a measurable impact at the scale of a large nation.

          Counting offices/public spaces with several repeaters, and then people with some repeaters at home, it might be close though

          then adjust the population to be population / avg household size of the country. can multiply that by the rate of households with internet too

          then you have to contend with all the non residential routers as well. could very well be 1 router per person or close
