In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a mobile broadband routable internet (MBRI) providing for carrier-grade, networked, broadband, IP-routable communication among a plurality of mobile devices, where the mobile devices may represent a plurality of nodes that are linked together through a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Mobile devices may operate as peers in a peer-to-peer network, with full IP routing capabilities enabled within each mobile device, thereby allowing routing of IP-based traffic, including deployment of applications, to the mobile device without need for infrastructure conventionally required for mobile ad hoc networks, such as cellular telephony infrastructure. Full IP-routing to mobile devices may allow seamless integration to the fixed Internet, such as through fixed or mobile access points, such as for backhaul purposes. Thus, the MBRI may function as a standalone mobile Internet, without connection to the fixed Internet, or as an IP-routable extension of another network, whether it be the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, a cellular network, a personal area network, or some other type of network that is capable of integration with an IP-based network.

What is claimed is: 1. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computers, operates a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) by performing the steps of:providing a mobile, broadband, routable internet (MBRI), in which a plurality of mobile devices interact as nodes in the MANET and in which packets are IP routable to the individual device independent of fixed infrastructure elements, wherein the nodes provide functional interaction with other nodes within the MANET to enhance MBRI operability.
