The message is probably one we can all get behind in principle.<p>However, the internet has a real, physical infrastructure that is definitely owned and operated by behemoth organizations like governments and private corporations. In fact, the Internet was created by a government. What makes you think they&#x27;d give it up willingly?<p>If you want to create your own internet, you certainly can. But even if you find the monetary resources to do so, you&#x27;ll need to house and operate the telecommunications equipment somewhere on Earth (or in LEO).
