NYC Mesh: The Future of the Internet (www.youtube.com)

After watching this video I really think this is the future of the internet. I'm tired of paying such high costs to my ISP only for it to go down. Imagine always having a reliable internet connection at a fraction of the cost.

How do you think that the internet works?

How do you propose to connect such a mesh in New York to New Jersey, or Chicago, Los Angeles, or Sydney?

OP might mean it's the future of internet access. I don't think these network operators are under any illusions that they could connect NYC to San Francisco with just LoS radios.
