Yes, there's a group, "ChiFi," that is actively looking into ways to
implement a community wireless network serving the Chicago area.  One can
sign up for their e-mail list at:

People (including Rob Flickenger, who will be flying in for next weekend's
Wireless Summit) write books on this very issue.  Mainly one just needs a
dedicated group of people who want to start building the system.  But if
you're in the area, the summit would be a good place to get more
information on creating new community wireless networks.
