I like Johns comments. It would be interesting to work on a huge project
like CERN - and doing something like amp work - now that would be really
sweet. It's a pleasant distraction from the reality of my day job which has
nothing to do with radio or amps, unfortunately.

There already is at least one alternative "internet", primarily
for a sub-group of education, government, & corporate entities
plus a variety of portable/localized Internet-replacements under
development.
Hams have Broadband-Hamnet, originally called HSMM-Mesh, and someone
is working on a system which uses Ham repeaters to repeat text and
other data as well as voice.
Decentralized critical-system redundancy is good.
