ftlian thank you for all of your comments. They are insightful.
I would think that decentralized communication would be priority?
It's a huge way to start aggregating capital and to avoid the biggest invasion of privacy, your phone.
Since people already pay way more money than is needed to keep and maintain a communications network, If done right the extra money could go towards a software development effort which could develop software for current devices to make them much more private. Then there would be no need for ads or to control your content.
Essentially buy out the local communications companies and turn each branch into a local association. Then set free the engineers from those companies on optimizing the network for the end user and not the moneyed interests. Use something like Steem-It modified to pay the engineers for making the network and devices faster at receiving and sending the data they want to send/receive.
