It's worth reading the paper:

https://www.telex.cc/paper.html
I only skimmed the paper, but it's quite interesting.  As always,
the Devil's in the details.  Will be interesting to see if it gains
momentum.
I've read the paper when it came out, and I have to say I'm quite perplex
about it: it seems to rely a lot on ISPs, which to me aren't entities that
have interest in getting into trouble with governments, and I'm not really
ready to put trust in.

I think the assumption is the protocol would be supported by democratic governments, who will persuade their ISP to connect the stations, and encircle authoritarian country's internet access. So in this case, interest in not getting into trouble with their government can be used for good.

So yes, we'll see, but I have serious doubts that this technology might be
that interesting.

I'd be far more interested to see the Dust protocol being implemented as a
Tor transport option, now that this feature is possible.
