Good ideas. Any way to break up centralized control is valid in my opinion. Concerning the internet and blockchain, I would like to see a concerted effort to develop #meshnets. This would dramatically decentralize the networks such that discussing #netneutrality policy and the like would be pretty much pointless.

Meshnets would literally allow individuals to run their own ISP and incentivise a whole new market that could not be controlled.

I'd never even heard of Meshnets, but it sounds fascinating.

If my understanding is correct, it could break up the traditional hierarchal structure from a central ISP to consumers, and instead implement a truly open source network that cannot be controlled or manipulated by a central body.

Exactly.

The challenge, as with all things decentralized, is that people will have to be responsible for their own.
