What's Required?
	Imagine if you will... Network connections cost under $10 each Hundreds of connections in a single room ...what will make this possible?

Where there is currently a single network connection, there will be hundreds or thousands. And these most of these connections will terminate with everyday objects, not high-priced computers.

Imagine that we have a network to interconnect "everyday objects". The primary characteristics of this network are that each node is really dirt cheap -- less than ten dollars -- and that there may be hundreds or thousands of these nodes in the space of a single room.

My recent research has focused on designing a new kind of network, which I've dubbed "Hyphos", which means "web" in Greek. From the start, the design of Hyphos has been driven by the dual contraints of high-density and low cost. The result is a network architecture suitable for interconnecting everyday objects.
