Enjoy your upload/download speeds in the kbps on a clear day…

I like the way you’re thinking, but realistically that won’t replace the internet. You might be able to run lightweight messenger apps and forums that way, but updating software? Downloading media? Not likely.

People in densely populated areas can probably daisy-chain intranets over wifi to form makeshift mesh networks, but transferring data over distances like if you’re maintaining a software repo mirror would require some other solution. The best I can think of is physically running USB drives between different server locations to keep the mirrors up-to-date.

Of course you can use the radio to coordinate, like reaching out and telling people where to bring their USB to get a copy of your repo. Or getting enough people in one area to mesh their wifi extenders to create an intranet.
