The article fails to make a good distinction for the different challenges of adhoc, infrastructure and privacy enhancing or censorship circumventing mesh networks. Several others and I run a small (50 nodes) mesh network in my area, and it works fine for: - enhancing WiFi access for all contributing nodes to an area which has limited or no coverage. - providing fallback uplink connectivity for contributing nodes. Infrastructure mesh networks are easy split into interconnected groups to avoid performance problems, and are still mesh networks, were a metropolitan area is covered by one ore more meshes to add redundancy and avoid scaling problems.
