Jim Bell's comment:
Do you recall my suggestion from about 2 years ago that a new anonymity network be built, akin to TOR, but hosted by 1000+ people out of their homes and small businesses?  I mentioned using Raspberry Pi.  
The main desirable thing is that unlimited-data Internet be available, which even then was true for 940 Mb/sec $65 month service.  (CenturyLink service).  I believe they are now  offering 100 Mbits/sec for $30/month, which should be plenty for an anonymzation network.
I suggested that all nodes be able to act as output nodes, and that to facilitate this, all outputs be subject to mild (or better?) encryption, to ensure than plaintext never appears on any output node.  (To avoid inadvertently providing 'probable cause' to justify a search warrant.)
Is somebody ready to talk about this?
