    I agree with the notion, but I’m mildly concerned with the fragmentation of solutions. We already have I2P, Yggdrasil Network, Gemini Network, the cjdns ecosystem, just to name a few. You can just run nodes on all of them at once, but that restricts accessibility to those who have the raw compute (and bandwidth) necessary, which isn’t exactly conducive to what I’d consider a truly “open” internet, especially in the third world.

      I think fragmentation is great. Shows there’s varied interest in the space and allows them to evolve. Let the best one stand the test of time!

      A quick overview of the difference in the tech stacks:

      Network Can run without IP? Can run without ISP? Primary Physical Medium
      Reticulum Yes (Identity-based) Yes Radio (LoRa/HF), Serial, Wi-Fi Mesh, Ethernet
      Yggdrasil No (Uses crypto IP) Yes Wi-Fi Mesh, Ethernet
      cjdns No (Uses crypto IP) Yes Wi-Fi Mesh, Ethernet
      I2P No (Overlay) Mostly No Existing Internet (TCP/UDP)
      Gemini No (Application) No Existing Internet (TCP)
