How about this: all wifi routers sold will have to also contain a low-bandwidth public mesh interface that cannot be configured or turned-off. That means that as people buy wifi routers, they also set up a very-low bandwidth p2p net around their house. Any person with independent net capabilities -- say those using a sat connection or packet radio -- would naturally provide pass-through very low bandwidth to lots of other folks without having to set anything up (Without being able to help it, actually) Not a perfect solution, but something that can be done easily from this end and it would cause a lot of consternation among those trying to totally control information flow.
