There's something similar in the Seattle/Victoria area.

It's really fun to play with. It's not strictly a mesh, but that's OK. It's used heavily for EMCOMM as well as internet linking repeater sites on the tops of mountains where there's no other internet.

Another great project, although I don't think they have modified their firmware to run outside of the Part 15 wifi bands, so they have to deal with noise... Could be wrong though. :)

If anyone is interested in setting up one of these in San Francisco I've got a line of sight to much of downtown and maybe East Bay.
