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.
($1 * country population) / (average price/kwh)
There are a lot less than 1 router per person. I hope.
Counting offices/public spaces with several repeaters, and then people with some repeaters at home, it might be close though
