An interesting idea, but I don't see how to make it work. A wired network still leaves us connected to ISPs like Comcast. A wireless mesh network? That would produce mesh islands, not an Internet. You need a backbone to connect them, which brings us back to companies like Comcast. And what would the performance be like? What about security?
