We need to take a ground up approach to solving this, get open infrastructure into the community and build local isps. Over time replace our broken network with a new generation.
ISPs in the U.S. are already way out in front of this on both legislative and legal fronts.
They help write and push state legislation to make this difficult/impossible and sue anyone who tries into oblivion while finding ways to deny access to the supposedly shared lines tax dollars paid to build.
Not saying it could never work, but that's a hell of an uphill battle to take on.
I'm convinced the disruptive change to this mess will be some kind of WiFi mesh-based network that pushes ISPs out of the loop. I'm just not sure how you'd go about porting that mesh network back into the regular Internet since local ISPs would control all the gateways.
