Mark Ontkush you're forgetting that this has to be green AND cheap. Now as far as I know, PVC and crappier batteries are cheaper. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably the last thing they want is for a wifi network to work for a year or so and then have the country littered with these batteries and pvc frameworks. Does it even need a frame?
Anything on the node that is not widely available and cheap in the country where it is placed will fall into this category. More importantly, anything on it that can be put to a 'higher use' (maybe those pvc racks make great clothes dryers!) will be.
