Far fetched you mean like getting instantly connected to the internet for a fraction of the cost and with better bandwidth in major city?
You realize that mesh is just for the access network correct? There's still fiber between them and their transit providers. Mesh makes a lot economic sense compared to the costs of trenching and laying fiber miles.
