What about the various mesh nets around the world?

There are quite a few already operating. All that's needed is to keep scaling them up by driving participation.

Scaling mesh is a very hard problem, though, it's hardly just a matter of plugging in more devices. Networks over the existing Internet - like Freenet or Tor - are much more viable, in my opinion.
