Hmmm... Mesh networking is cool, but I'm not sure it is the way to go for a reliable connection. Particularly if it is used in the rural areas of the third world.

Even if the reported 1.6 km range turns out to be true, that will hardly connect all inhabitants of a village. Connections to the rest of the world will be hard to come by.
