That sounds like a fantastic way to go. You might also look at meshtastic.
It's a much different use case, being for text messaging and stuff like that only. But, while it may be low bandwidth, it's still incredibly interesting.
I jumped on Meshtastic but found it got too congested with noise in a medium-sized city making it difficult to get much out there. Switched to Meshcore and have had a much better time communicating. Seattle's full on made it equivalent to SMS, which makes me jealous. But YMMV 🤷🏼♂️
https://reticulum.network/ is also pretty good for small info packets. Does a LOT more than meshtastic...but its VERY difficult to set up. Or at least it was for me.
Its a pipe dream but having small internet without a major ISP would be fantastic. But it will never happen as it is. Friends are thinking of creating a meshnet though just for fun.
