Agreed. The catch in Iran is that mesh only helps locally: it can carry messages across a neighborhood during a shutdown, but it can't reach the outside world without some gateway. So I think of it as one layer: Bluetooth or Wi-Fi mesh for local coordination, plus things prepared before the cut (offline wallet apps, verified installers, saved guides). Have you seen any mesh tool hold up well in a real shutdown?
