#SciFi CStross and #Doctorow IIRC wrote a collaborative story called "#unwirers " years ago about the expansion of a #wireless #mesh #network into an unfriendly or captured by capitalists (if there's a difference) environment.
Potentially risky, but surely the people who are unwired will have Wifi and why would they take note of where a network was coming from.

@Photo55 The issue is not connectivity of people inside the country. There are numerous @matrix and @delta relays. The issue is connecting these services to wold-wide web. Iran gov have made a "national internet" (a.k.a., intranet) and there are "national" services analogous to WhatsApp, Youtube, ... and also banking and other stuff works. Of course their security and privacy standards are a major concern. I'm sure soon people will start using a ton or i2p as well.
