	Some ideas of possible challenges for the IP suite in emergent regions:

	- Long delay networks
	- Low bandwidth networks
	- Satellite networks (which are low BW and have long delays)
	- Mesh wireless networks
	- Networks not connected all the time
	- Not reliable/slow backup networks (i.e. in many countries there is
just one ISP, how can we provide multi-home for critical services using
a not very reliable backup link, for example a satellite link, a 3/4G,
dial-up, etc.)
	
	These are the problems that for instance, I suffer or I know people
that do. Nevertheless I imagine there should be many more of these.

	I imagine that a first step would be to document a set of problems on
which we could try to solve.
