Hi! I hope you checked this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region :-) There were already few times people were analyzing existing wireless networks. I think you should get into the contact with those researchers. (At least I know that I had to answer interview questions few times already.) Currently, as far as I know, part of this current EU project is to also analyze existing networks. I would recommend that you get into the contact with them: http://confine-project.eu/ And of course with everybody involved in International Summit for Community Wireless Networks. http://wirelesssummit.org/ I am involved with wlan slovenija, http://wlan-si.net/.
