The Internet is an inter-network of many.
Also the "L" in LAN, stands for "Local".

#5This seems something like the Serval Project (http://www.servalproject.org/). Difference being that Serval is for mobile telecommunications meshes, rather than fixed(-ish) data connections.

There probably is or was.
There was a surge in people doing wifi WAN style networks across whole cities, back when internet speeds were slow+expensive, and decent directional wifi antennas were available fairly inexpensively.
I think low-cost high-speed internet largely killed the need for it: perhaps Prism has given us a nudge to start again?

#7"To repurpose the famous A.J. Liebling statement, internet freedom is guaranteed only to those who own a connection. "And right now, you and me don't own the internet—we just rent the capacity to access it from the companies that do own it," Wilder says."

No doubt there are may others, but the one that comes immediately to mind is Personal Telco: https://personaltelco.net/wiki

This is awesome, however, municipalities have put fear into people wishing to do this over legal issues arising from what someone might do on your connection. Who is to blame when something illegal (mp3 download, etc) happens? That whole issue needs to be put to rest so we as a society can create our own Internet without fear of suppression.
