This is what I figured as well, but I also wonder if that's just because the devices we use haven't been built for this. In other words, if public interest shifted to some kind of mesh network, perhaps the devices could be improved enough to support the load. That said, I don't know much about mesh networking at all, the routing methods it uses, or if it's even possible to support what I'm talking about. It also has to contend with the existing, established infrastructure so probably won't see many large investments any time soon. I still think it would be a decent alternative to what we have now if it could overcome bandwidth/latency limitations.
