The very notion of the present Internet is grounded on the network infrastructure that is formed through ISPs. Everyone needs a gateway and a 'bus' to reach the desired end-point. Most ISPs still limit the upstream bandwidth for consumers and charge a premium making it a friction point. In a way the centralization is just a logical outcome of such 'rationing'. Distributed network will even more depend on the ISPs due to self-serving nature. Perhaps the 'decentralized' web should also address the very foundation of the network - the network infrastructure and access to it. Does Internet need to depend on the ISPs? |
