That's kind what consume.net is up to, and is really the reasoning
behind: guerilla.net: http://205.159.169.11/
"To provide a networking fabric outside of Governments, commercial
Internet service providers, telecommunications companies, and dubius
Internet regulatory bodies. The free flow of private information is a
REQUIREMENT of a free society. "
I kind of agree, up to a point. All I want is cheap bandwidth ;-) Of

to make this possible...
