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.

     Now that it appears the Internet is compromised what other

     predictable, dare say random?
     The legacy transceiver technologies prior to the Internet or
     developed parallel to it, burst via radio, microwave, EM emanations,
     laser, ELF, moon or planetary bounce, spread spectrum, ELF,
     hydro, olfactory, quanta, and the like.
     Presumably if these are possible they will remain classified, kept
     in research labs for advanced study, or shelved for future use.
     Quite a few are hinted at, redacted and partially described in
     NSA technical publications from 25-50 or so years ago. Many
     developed for military use and the best never shared with the
     public.
     A skeptic might suppose the internet was invented and promoted as
     a diversion along with public-use digital cryptography. This ruse
     has led to immense growth in transmission-breakable ciphers
     as well as vulnerable transceivers. Packet techology could hardly
     be surpased for tappability as Snowden and cohorts disclose the
     tip of the iceberg. Ironically, the cohorts believe encryption
     protects
     their communications, conceals his location and cloaks the
     depositories.
