content: Share ideas/concepts on how we create a free Internet My thoughts, Running a webserver from a personal computer is pretty basic and with the webRTC (real time content) you can access a computer or anything else through a web browser. A program called guacamole htlm5 is a good example of webRTC's capabilities. With a basic open source browser and web server, you could create a website that you access from your home IP address. This alone would allow anonymous access that would bypass most companies firewalls or any other available wifi, library, Starcucks, wherever from prying eyes. Basically, your own personal VPN accesed through port 443, a commonly open port. If someone could create a small open source program packaged with a small computer like a raspberry pie, people would be able to access anything they want from anywhere, without being monitored by anyone but their local ISP. This would be the first step to decentralization as domain names would no longer be required or neccassary, similar to ".onion". The next step would be to broadcast your website through wifi to people close by. You wouldn't use your current network, the device itself would create its own network. Could be installed in attics or garages. If any neighbors had these devices, they would be designed to look for other broadcasts. The neighbor would be notified of available content and could choose to download and make the content available to others. Safeguards could be put in place that would allow users to not allow automatic updates to content. People could also push their content over the old Internet and once others pick it up, they could also choose to repeat it. You could access your regular network from anywhere and piggyback to the new Internet. At least until it becomes more widely available. They have rooftop dishes now that can push data at ultra low latencies over wide distances, look into ubiquiti. These could be used on rooftops to link neighborhoods. Communities could invest in rebroadcast stations that could except and push out broadcasts. Directories would form and be passed around and shared over the old Internet. Communication networks could be created. The only content that could be taken down legally is illegal content. Tech companies would lose all power and reach. If these open source devices could be sold for the approximate price of one month of Internet service, I think they would take off quite quickly. Bartering and digital currency would be the norm and corporate advertising would disappear almost completely. Then people can start writing everyday business apps over the new Internet, encourage small business to make the switch. Just a thought.
