    Exactly this is the kind of internet l wish to see. Myriad of connected LAN parties instead of the big corps investing in billions !!

      It still is. The problem is that the vast majority of the traffic on these LAN parties is facebookgoogletiktoketc traffic, because most of the LAN party attendees prefer that over doing stuff together.

      Facebook doesn’t connect friends, it inhibits friendly activities.

              That basically means building another internet at this point. Possible, but probably not worth the investment required.

              It might be more feasible to use internet as foundational infrastructure for a huge VPN based on people volunteering resources.
