At MIT they did research on creating a WiFi mesh
But, the point is, you might be able to drop one internet connection into a large area, then a mesh of computers would distribute it. Although the problem here is the laptops are wind up and will not remain on when not in use. You would also have to put antenas on the roof and run coax. Probably better for the government to make the mesh and put WiFi antenas on the electric poles. Hopefully WiMax technology will get down to the price of WiFi and be standard in laptops. That would make it a heck of a lot cheaper to roll out internet access in developing countries. Heck, even cheaper right here in the good old US of A.
