Yeah. I had a similar idea a while back. I'm not so sure it really needs to be radically decentralized though. Drones travel slow compared to IP packets and I think this creates opportunities to optimize tasks in the cloud.<p>I think the biggest problem are safety (what if a drone crashes) and theft.<p>There was an April Fool's article a while back on taco delivery by drones. I think that's a problem that needs to be solved before you can have a drone-net.

Great, feasible idea, but not until BATTERIES GET BETTER! We need better batteries! It's the largest roadblock to a 1,000 innovations.
