NetEQuality.org has some six projects operational currently.  They 
utilize "radios" to implement mesh wireless networks.  It would appear 
they've dropped the $500USD per square mile cost of wireless networks 
similar to the CUWin.net model, to somewhere around $300USD.  Their 
"radios" I think, are based on the Meraki.net product.  One added 
advantage is the maintenance costs associated, since it really amounts 
to little more than replacing the "radio" with another, as needed.  Not 
sure how one handles troubleshooting the device, when issues arise.

Is there mesh networking in your area?  Might be worth a discussion?
