John Robb is thinking about swarming, especially in terms of what terms “global guerrillas” working with finance.
how will global guerrillas use swarming? First, the target for global guerrillas won’t be isolated military units but rather urban infrastructure systems. The objective of these attacks will be damage that results in economic attrition…
Logistics requirements can be met via open economic transactions and don’t require population support. The requirements for operations are relatively limited (damage to infrastructure requires low-tech tools). Additionally, the small size of the cells (~5 people) requires little housing/food/etc and in most cases would fall well below the threshold of detection.Real-time, anonymous, wireless communications (both data and voice — VoIP, e-mail, Web, cellphones, etc.) enable global guerrillas to coordinate dispersed operations on the operational level. Tactical operations will be of a conventional type, typically by a single unit or individual.

Yes various governments are now moving in the m-gov direction at their e-gov advantures.. But I believe the most exciting concept that came out of all the m-gov impelmentations is the concept of m-cities.. starting from stcokholm, w can soon see new comers - mTokyo, mLondon, mNewYork etc.. But what is that they provide to the ordinary citizens?… We dont really want all this complicated applications.. on health, law enforcement etc.. all we want is a little easier and exciting life.. … I gues tourist info on mcities solves the problem… great application .. arrive at any city and turn your mobile phone/device into a guide….
