It bothers me that people are not more suspicious of things like this. Setting up a mesh internet grid is not a trivial engineering task. You would need to recruit at least several extremely skilled, extremely expensive network engineers with phenomenal understanding of how antennas work and radio wave propagation. You would have to run operations 24/7. You would need skilled lawyers in local, state, and federal law to fend off the legal challenges. Also you would have to have fierce integrity and honesty to not sell the data to recoup some of your costs.

In addition to all this, you would have to be running an aggressive counterintelligence program internally, because such an operation any intelligence agency would love to be part of, whether you know it or not.

The lack of widespread computer science knowledge in the United States makes it so we all continually fall for what are likely scams or intelligence agency plays.

The NSA already taps normal ISPs; why would them compromising this be any worse?

Ignoring the lack of faith in humanity, what legal challenges are you afraid of?
