Our first mistake was to “trust” in the transference of our ‘public’ utility telecommunication networks critical connectivity, e.g. ownership of the outside plant physical INFRASTRUCTURE (telecommunications/broadband networks used as the on and off ramps accessing these CDNs, platforms and services - essentially most of today’s Internet and even critical public safety and national security traffic thereby deregulating most any means to a decentralized leveraging of discussion).

I propose we start this discussion using what critical thinking we have remaining in the return to the pre-1996 telecommunication deregulation act era where ownership of our outside plant telecommunication lines was a decentralized and still federated infrastructure as still exemplified and in practice with our highways, airways and waterways models. While not a solution in itself, it would afford us leverage in this process of determining choice or levels of AI vendor participation or non-participation in a more democratic manner, rather than the arbitrary, and often scandalous behavior that’s resulted since the 90’s. https://youtu.be/mGzDpY6ZTnk
