In Paris France wifi Mesh is quite ok today.
There were only small projetcs, not a global total surface ambition.
But in finalit works prettywell.

A) Municipality has 300 hotspots wifi free of charge in a big majority af small parks.
B) All libraries have free wifi
C) Many cafes and bars give one easy connect Free of charge wireless connexion) [see www.cafes-wifi.com for the list]. I would say 400 cafes have it.

conclusion : 700 places give users a free connexion using one Wi-Fi hotspot. It is quite Ok compared to 2 years ago. And most of all those places have a big sucess. More month after month.
