Very metal. Fuck the ISPs. We all need to create a decnetralized internet. In amongst all the other things we should be doing.

bytewind1145yMany years ago we tried that in our country by having private and public owned wireless infrastructure meshed together which created city-wide networks that didn't need internet access for local resources until ISPs threw a fit and bribed government to ban it which killed the institutional support which was the backbone of the project.
