I'd be interested in finding out more, but www.redecentralized.org isn't working for me. Is there a typo? I wouldn't be against having a machine at my home, but I suppose that means single point of failure would erase all data?

What I would really like to know if it would be possible to have internet over wifi, and no backbone - just purely personal wifi - house to house. I don't see a way that I would find my bank's website if any computer can claim to be my bank, but maybe there's a solution.

Regarding you0r 'single point of failure' comment, I think indeed this would be a single point of failure and of course, the data that you own, cannot be protected in a way big corporations can do which is the crux of the argument, that is, do you care about security/reliability of your data more or privacy ? The googles and facebooks are keeping the data secure but we can't know who all have access to our private data. Are privacy concerns a big enough deal for people that they would be willing to move their data from the cloud onto their possession, and in the process, maybe take some hit on the security/reliability ?
Sorry, indeed there was a typo - it is redecentralize.org.
