This appeared in Ars Technica yesterday:

"Students tout WiFi co-ops as alternative to municipal WiFi"

Here is the actual research article:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~nrs32/pubs/hotnets6.pdf

It's an interesting read, and indeed the authors tout their proposal as 
a "completely sociological proposal to a technical program."  Many of 
the comments on Ars' forum discussing the article are pretty negative, tho.
