Ok so access control, specialized services, access/gateway to exclusive networks, communication efficiency (if I’m understanding correctly?)

These are all interesting possibilities but it feels to be a bit of a stretch still, where are examples of such use cases? Most importantly what is the BASE case for running a relay?

You get to control the flow of information passing through your system for the relay runner. You can do something with that in a more intimate way that the user appreciates.

As the user, maybe I want privacy and ultra available services and you as the relay runner have the only #reticulum gateway accessible that is not included with any free service. In many cases, you could offer your relay as the identification layer to a hosted application via OpenID Connect instead of collecting toxic metadata associated with traditional registration & signup methods. The bundled streamlined communication medium reduces overhead such as smtp.
