very simple. the whole funkfeuer effort is completely peer-driven. the
funkfeuer network is not just the nodes on the roofs, the network
includes the node-owners. 
funkfeuer enhanced the OSI network-layer model. below the PHY-layer
we added the peer-network-layer.

back to your question: iff not enough ppl. care about funkfeuer it will
dissolve - gradually.
if noone donates time, effort & money - nothing will happen.

open for everyone aslong as s/he aggree to the so-called "micro-peering".

cheers,
