I think it makes a lot of sense. A huge difficulty in deploying new wireless networking tech is getting enough coverage out of the gate to make it worth people creating hardware for. To try to build a network from grassroots rather than raising an enormous amount of capital first, you need incentives, and having a token based system where the money that people pay to use it rewards the people who are providing the coverage makes perfect sense. If this specific implementation of it actually doesn't make sense, I think it's a shame, because I would like to live in a world where small groups of techies could put together a protocol and get something like a big distributed mesh network deployed and useful across the world, and blockchain tech seems like a very natural fit for creating a system like that. Coordination problems and network effects are where we have our most difficult interaction between technology and society, and our standard tools for addressing them (government and corporations mainly) feel like a small part of the solution space.
