Well, in part because the maximum usable frequency of the ionosphere tops out around 30-60 MHz?

Got it, so a meshnet using ISM bands is limited by the radio horizon, meaning that unless the equipment is produced in very high numbers, the links won't be close enough to connect at all, outside urban areas or perhaps a few towns.
