Yes, along those lines. Free of the totally seductively entrapping
internet and monomanical PK promiscuity.
The slew of innovations to milk the internet and crypto are way
stations toward surpassing vulns of both used in concert. Both
mutually delude. Each might lead to better alone, paired with
different and less familiar means.

Free and Open 4G radios/base stations are actually quite exciting
for this reason. The thing which actually prevents mesh networks
from working is mathematical: past a certain network size, path
finding becomes too computationally expensive, so wifi based mesh
networks can only cover a certain radius before they stop working.
With the 4G spectrum, however, the distances between hops vastly
increases, meaning that city-wide mesh networks can grow and remain
performant. This allows for free communication and file transfer
without centralized authorities. Obviously there are still threats,
but there is a lot of freedom gained from network autonomy.
