I'll throw some chum in the water:

What is "The Grid," and what is needed to connect to it?

Does it have to be ubiquitious?  Or is is sufficient to build
one or two points of presence, and then extend its reach over
time? 

How granular does that presence have to be before we're content
that "The Grid" reaches us?
