If this is off topic for this list, somebody flame me! The Sputnik Community Gateway is very cool. However, I believe that the cooperative membership fee driven business model offers the most hope for creating a network aimed at ubiquity. I give some reasons in my rough white paper: http://www.wificoop.org/wp.html
Also, I feel that the central arbiter of such a cooperative network, should not be a for-profit company. Most definitely it should not be one which sees it's "free" access point operators as a way to extend it's brand and promote it's other services. Is there a Wireless Philosophy mailing list ;-) ?
