Wait till you find out about meshcore that runs on the same hardware!

Whole new rabbit hole. Australia has all but entirely moved to meshcore due to the issues with scaling meshtastic in cities

Doesn't Meshcore require infrastructure that someone needs to set up (repeaters or something?) and the software costs license fees ?

No licence fees (unless you count specific proprietary firmwares which are not necessary at all), and any device can be a repeater
