At least in EU, WiMax failed because the states decided to licence the spectrum to the usual telcos that had no interest in deploying the technology fearing a possible cannibalization of their own businesses.
However, WiMax is not a mesh network, although you can obviously use WiMax as a physical link on top of which a mesh protocol can work.

I suppose it's time we have a public open hardware effort in order to break the telcos' unhealthy monopoly.
