Funding community networks is one of the few use-cases I've seen that actually seem to make sense for cryptocurrency. The Althea wireless mesh is doing this -- you "load" your router with a certain amount of credit, and it tries to get you the lowest-cost transport. People running nodes have incentive to optimize their antenna placement and signal, so they can carry more traffic and get paid for it. I don't know if this directly applies to SSB since there's really nothing to "run", other than pubs which we've already established are only a stopgap solution anyway. Simply participating in the network (leaving your client running) is what provides the real "infrastructure", such as it is.
