At some point, I think MANET/mesh/roofnets/Zigbee/etc. are going to  
start fulfilling this role, at least in part.

Which should give NSPs something to think about in terms of how they  
can embrace this model and make money with it.  Getting your  
customers to build and maintain your infrastructure for you is a  
pretty powerful incentive, IMHO.
