Didn't Egypt end up with citizen-run satellite or mesh networks that crossed borders? I vaguely remember people from other countries organizing on Twitter to provide it somehow.

People always talk about networks like that. But the reality is they tend to only be a few thousand people max, while millions are still left unconnected.
