Wireless mesh networks are all fun and games until you try to scale up. First you have to deal with the huge coordination issue of getting everybody in line and on line to actually form a mesh. Then if you actually succeed with that you have to deal with physics, maintenance and upgrades. Most, if not all networks that start as meshes, devolve into centralized networks. Then all you have is another ISP. The root cause to why wireless mesh networks don’t exist in any meaningful way is that traditional ISP networks are more cost effective.
