Mesh nets!
Imagine lots and lots of individual network nodes that each have their own power source and server space, all connected together in a spiderweb of network connections. They can be set up stealthily all over the place to create a parallel network infrastructure outside the current one, quickly moved or abandoned if discovered, and are resilient against disaster.
In the story they're used by the [netrunners/darkmovers/insert-underground-anticorpo-group] to communicate and post jobs and trade information without using the centralized corpo networks. Then, idk, a Cat6 hypercane in a +4C world takes out all of the established infrastructure and they're quickly deployed across the ruins to get everyone back online.
Ok, interesting idea to actually think where to put the servers in a world like this.
This sounds very punky, anti-authorative. I was more thinking about the different communities that would develop if social networks work for building them instead of destroying them.
