Part of the effort that must be made is to knock some sense into the rapidly merging entertainment/information/telecom conglomerates, and try to at very least keep a large section of the "data highway" (or whatever one chooses to call it) an Internet-like many-to-many communications medium, if not fused with Internet itself. Convincing the govt. of this is will also take some doing. One certainly can't IGNORE the govt. No matter how much we may wish it'd just go away, it won't, and has to be dealt with.
The beauty of cypherpunk technology is that it provides means to _avoid_ the tyranny of government, rather than trying to redirect that tyranny on behalf of one's own ends. Government gets its power from its hundred million clients. To join that clientele is not consistent with wanting government power to whither away. John E.
