Author re-discovers ARPANet and recognises the;<p><pre><code> &quot;need to embrace a network where every service and node operates on a peer-to-peer, fully decentralized basis.&quot; </code></pre> Very seldom in these pieces is there the stomach for politics. Isn&#x27;t it recognised that the greatest enemy of this &quot;Pure Internet&quot; has always been the media and entertainments business, who poured hundreds of billions over five decades into stifling p2p because they could never let go of a broadcast&#x2F;dissemination model? And does it even need saying that cowering paranoiacs in governments are delighted with five giant centralised websites, because that&#x27;s their choke point?<p>Let&#x27;s deal with the <i>reasons</i> the Internet is failing before mulling over already solved technical solutions.
