That is basically what I have in mind. Though I would allow the regionals
to determine the VPN protocols to reach the subnets (more than one,
including possibly IPIP).
Then we should have plug and play configurations for subnets. For example,
I can provision a MikroTik with a VPN to a datacenter and deliver it to
subnet admin for $50-100, who places on their LAN with connectivity to an
ISP. Going out from there to RF or a service is the responsibility of the
local subnet.

This.
So this is how I'd see it work, I need to write up a proposal for it.
You have regional BGP routers that route subnets to the internet. These
could
then tunnel the subnets to end users via GRE. End users could route via an
IGP over this tunnel to the regional speaker(s). Multiple tunnels would
give
redundancy.
The regional speakers would have a tunnel between them.
In the event of an outage the other BGP speakers would route subnets.
Multiple links from end users to other BGP speakers (or non-speakers that
are
aggravation routers) would provide redundancy to the end users.
Of course nothing prevents having a direct BGP speaker with an RF link to
end
users, most data centers will not have roof rights however.
We could setup redistribution that would pull announcements from BGP if end
nodes went down.
Each BGP speaker could announce the subnets it knows about and a /8
providing
we have a mesh of the backbone bgp speakers.
Thoughts?
