I have these questions as well. I am subscribed anyway because I find the subject interesting. My assumption is that the protocol will not remain static and that with higher rates of adoption, the network will grow in strength and therefore usability and will evolve to accommodate that. Ultimately, a simple network that say, even just 10% the country participated in may be enough to allow universal off-grid communication which could be extremely useful. But there are a lot of roadblocks (not the least of which are the technical aspects you mention). There will also be a lot of exterior pressure along the way to adapt, extend and extinguish from capital interests.
