   Mesh networks don't excite me a lot. They have limited applicability in the countryside, and radio spectrum is a finite resource (renewable, sure, but nonetheless finite). Anyone who's had wireless Internet in their own home and had poor reception or such will tell you it's not a full replacement.

   The real solution is more communal infrastructure such as fibre optics.

     However, people do not wish to believe that the Internet is presently supported by Capitalism. They prefer to think of it as an abstract entity with modular components. That is only true to a limited extent. Internet backbones will never be replaced by mesh networks, and anyone with a knowledge in networking knows that.
