   @wakest Cooperatively owned and democratically managed, internationally linked mesh networks would be my personal preference.

      @h @wakest I think there's a technical bias in favor of mesh networks - that mesh and peer-to-peer apps with data replication is the only thing which truly scales. But there's a political bias against mesh networks in that they aren't easily amenable to centralized control and monetization via choke points, portals or paywalls. The future is likely to be a tussle between the technical and the political factors with a mixture of client/server and p2p.
