The power of the Internet comes from our ability to create our own solutions without relying on third parties. The Internet is not really a network -- it's the result of our ability to form a community using any available radio or wire to exchange bits. The Internet grew by interconnecting these communities by tunneling through the existing telecommunications infrastructure.

To fully realize the opportunity of the Internet we need to extend what I call permissionless ambient connectivity by retracing the history of the Internet as DIY from the edge and funding connectivity as a community, thus enabling all applications without having to pay for each Internet connection as if it were a phone line.
