Guerrilla wifi for taking the squares->

Jisakiel writes "A recent uprising of indignation in Spain and Greece has resulted in a significant number of squares being occupied by campings. The number of attendants makes the usual GSM/3G networks or donated neighbour wifis very unstable because of spectrum saturation, which makes communicating with the outside very difficult.
So far there have been several imperfect solutions such as 5ghz links bouncing to nearby streets, or directional high gain antennas — all of which become single points of failure and tend to lose link or uplink often.
Is there a viable setup to aggregate several bandwidth sources in an unstable and rapidly changing topology — such as several wifis and a 3G backup -, to achieve stable connectivity?"
