Well, we all love the DeathStation 9000. But I guess that it would take a lot of development time and nasal deamons to compile gcc on that architecture without destoying nearby cities, let alone port a complete linux distribution to the DS9K...
however, it becomes impossible to cut any single person's access away, since said person's packets can be routed through multiple routes even at the very beginning.
In your scenario, the gouverment/commercial entity is evil enough to cut peoples network access. Thus, you have to assume that in doubt, they would simply cut the access at each endpoint where "infringing" traffic enters the public network, effectively cutting the whole mesh from the net.
I've seen people fined for copyright infraction for operating an open WiFi router (which is basically a "one-hop mesh"), when they could prove they have been on vacation during the time of the infringement.
Mesh routing is cool and all, but where do you connect your mesh to? Interconnecting the globe without any commercial or gouvermental entity involved is no easy task. Providing reasonable bandwidth across the ocean without using fiber is hard, if not almost impossible.
A segway doen't give many benefits over a electrified wheelchair; and the strap-in/stand-up procedure would be pretty complicated, so I don't belive that would be really usefull.

The wikipedia page mentiones $7.5 per megabyte.
Even better, the glacier will do all the pushing for you!

They "cheat" by using gravity to accelerate towards the sun.

Mozilla has a history of paying those bounties, why should that change? Have I missed that they are somehow evil now?
Erm, the 22 countries using the euro beg to disagree. Congratulations non the less.
