Before they radically changed direction and were acquired by Cisco, Meraki tried to target community meshes in SF and beforehand as Roofnet at MIT. They handed out/sold a lot of mesh APs. I wonder what happened to the boxes.

The networks are still limping along with some volunteer maintenance. There are some really dedicated people working to provide for some of the technology needs of the communities, such as free computer repair and training.
