    pringles can antennas only require regulatory permission if you get caught.

    Set up APs and provide open WiFi from your windows. The traffic that draws will give you an idea of demand, and just how much abuse you're like to garner.

    A few months of experience there will give you data to show others when you want to expand your idea; or solid reasons not to do it.

    "1GB per day"? I remember being capped to 1GB/month.

    The most important thing to remember is that technical details are secondary.

    The government could set up local networks. They could require mobile services to provide a base data plan.

    Since they don't, the next is to talk to the relevant people and see what they want. Are there already local activists that you can volunteer with, or contribute money to? Are there community centers which can already provide wifi but need money for a new roof?

    Coming in as an outsider, with shiny technology and promises of a brighter more egalitarian future, has a long history of failing.

    Also, I suspect actual sharing, like running an open wifi or Tor exit relay, will have poor uptake. Few want to deal with problems if illegal activities are tracked down to their network. Using a system which is better aligned with legal and corporate expectations of your country would be easier.
