>Perhaps it's a good idea to have random take downs of the internet in large areas for extended periods of time so that there is more motivation for people to create a second, non-centralized single-point-of-failure single-point-of-control internet.

That's not a good idea. That's a very bad idea, considering how much critical infrastructure, globally, depends on the internet working -- what you're suggesting, to even work as "motivation", would be akin to randomly poisoning pharmaceuticals to discourage overdependence on antibiotics.

That said though, if such a change could be pulled off without essentially destroying the economies of whole countries, I would be all for it.

This is the very bad idea.

Perhaps. But solving one evil with a greater evil can't be a valid solution.
