I have set up wireless bridges that could supposedly under optimum conditions, connect to one another over 11 miles.
So with line of sight I know you could 'beam internet' from either a plain old ISP connection OR from an internet exchange.
This was consumer grade equipment too, I am sure there is much much stronger out there.
As far as the potential of mesh in rural areas, I think one of those two options should be workable. Of course there are costs and geography that may hinder.
