I want a mesh network that does to the TCP&#x2F;IP Internet what the road network has done to the train network. The road networks reduced the barriers to entry in so many industries.<p>I only have Comcast as an option for broadband Internet. This is the direct result of the protocol&#x27;s topology. This is power and control that no amount of protocols written on top of TCP&#x2F;IP can break. We can keep wanting to have decentralized or non-centralized services, but I don&#x27;t see it actually happening on the TCP&#x2F;IP Internet: The economies of scale are too powerful too compete against.<p>If we tried to layer a road network exclusively on top of a rail network, we&#x27;d just have a less efficient rail network.
