N-O-D-E decentralised net ideas
| I feel like such a network will have to be between either a self regulating collective or just close friends and family.
The trouble is that it wouldn't be connected to the internet at large. Sure it could get big one day, but with so many hands in the pot, wouldn't it just be another internet?

that's kinda the point if i'm not mistaken. to make a new internet independent from companies or whatever. a free, decentralized net where service providing is passed off to the users

Yes that is the idea. To make a "second internet" as it were. Something where big companies like Facebook or Google wouldn't be able to control what you see. I also understand that connecting cities together would be tricky, but I have found out today that some people use hobby FM range to connect systems like this.
| I mean IRC did this pretty successfully. It can be done
| But if a mere "second internet" were created, what's to stop unscrupulous persons from taking control of it in the same manner that Google/Facebook et al have in Internet Prime?

| So I have been burning through N-O-D-Es playlist on YouTube and have taken a shine to his idea of a decentralised network. Living where I do (Winnipeg, Canada) we don't have a network like this and we have a very slow network standard (basically $1 per Mbps down and 0.1 up if we're lucky).
So what would be a good way to try and get people involved in making/helping with a network like this?
I know in Toronto they kind of have one. But I cannot find anything on how they started.
