The vast majority of the ethernet, cable, and fiber that connects people is owned by a corporation.
I hate this argument because it misses the bigger point that the infrastructure of the internet is not publicly owned but is privately owned by corporations.
Build community LANs that aren't connected to the internet. Use sneakernets to share information via USB. Use encrypted LoRa for messaging among community members.
Yes, I see a future of two "internets". One corporate and another for the people. The People's Internet will be deemed illegal and hunted down. Seems like there's a movie there somewhere....
A move with a lot of "I'm in".
