How to create a carrier-grade wi-fi mesh network?

Hello! How rational would be the use of wi-fi mesh technology for laying the Internet in a small cottage village? It is planned to install a gateway server, connect an access point to it, which will distribute the Internet. Routers will be installed on the roofs of the houses, which will distribute the Internet throughout the territory.
What can be pitfalls? How feasible is this scheme?
Thank you!
PS This technology is widely used in Catalonia. Here is another map habrahabr.ru/company/cjdns/blog/198428/.

At the last MUM, it was talked about the implementation of something similar on Mikrotik 433. Knock on Skype, I'll tell you what's there and how. Lots of letters.

Thank you for "calling" to the topic, I will express my opinion.
You provided a link
To be honest, it seems to me that this link does not apply to your problem. The article available at the link, as far as I understand, describes a certain peer-to-peer network at 3 higher levels of the OSI model, roughly speaking, its own separate Internet, with no censorship and crypto-anarchism. In theory, you could use a peer-to-peer network at layers 1-2 of the OSI model, that is, a network of Wi-Fi transceivers that provides regular IP connectivity and Internet access.
However, in your case, if possible, I would choose cable solutions (fiber to the home) and only in some special cases use Wi-Fi. Wireless solutions introduce quite a few potential problems, and in the case of a peer-to-peer (mesh) network, the useful bandwidth will be shared between subscribers, as a result, the final advantage of this approach is unclear.
