Public Local Area Network through WI-FI routers.

Public Local Area Network through WI-FI routers.

-Security will be an ongoing concern.
-Net Neutrality will be built in.
-PLAN should be free and shared.

A Public Local Area Network by WI-FI
(PLAN) would be fun, experimental,
interesting and even a better alternative
to the popular internet that is becoming
less democratic and less free.

Just for fun, if you have a spare desktop
computer and a wireless router, we could
start a public Local Area Network. Just in
case your ISP costs go up unexpectedly
because of the abolishment of
"Net Nuetrality." We can operate a Public
Local Area Network over WI-FI (PLAN), using
WI-FI routers, from building (house) to a
nearby building or house/apartment.

A public and wireless LAN or LAN of LANS
could be the beginning of a new form of
internet.

Eventually, we could have volunteers or
volunteer programmers figure out new forms
and methods of security for a new internet
not commercially controlled by billion
dollar companies, but by the people who
wish to use the new internet without any
corporate or corporations under any
centralized control. We the users, could
maintain control through voting and a
consensus system.

Can a new form of internet become a
decentralized form of internet? Yes, it
is possible. So many people around the
world are finding superior and beneficial
uses for decentralization. A cost-saving
potential alone (once perfected) can
be a motivational driver. Eliminate or
reduce the middle-man (ISP) and the
third-party Internet Service Provider and
replace it with two or more wi-fi routers
within range of your home, you or your
wi-fi router included. Your wi-fi router
does not have to have a publicly viewable
name, like, "hi there, connect for free",
unless you want it to. It might be not
public, but known as, "4lh67sk37ggg9ao2."
or whatever you choose, or automatic and
changing.

This is just for fun. We may, in fact not
notice any changes in our ISP behaviours.
That is what some ISPs have said. But the
experiments would still be fun. Just to see
how far this could go in range, would be fun!

Just for fun, as an experiment, neighbors
and friends can find out if their local
wireless LAN has the range to connect with
a nearby "friendly" wireless LAN.

Of course, security will be an ongoing
concern. Maybe one user could have a
previously (old internet) copy of a
search engine called "YIOOP" on their
home LAN server and with permissions,
index the whole LAN. Security in mind,
you would never have harmfull or bad
information on your machine. Trusted
machines could be flagged as "trusted"
or excluded. You cant trust everything
you experience on the current and
popular internet version, anyway.

As far as I know, many or most security
measures being used over the currently
popular internet can be implememted
over a wireless LAN, since a LAN also
uses TCP/IP and browsers that allow
JAVA and Javasript like the popular
internet.

The cost of wireless types of routers
has come down over the years. Using
an old desktop PC, with low power
consumption and a used or wireless
router would cost less than it used
to, with a new low-power energy
star compliant monitor. Once running,
you can run server software using a
WAMP or XAMP setup and have all kinds
of popular server software and systems
running to parallel what popular net
servers already run.

Too much work? Or worth the work?

Our internet is no longer our internet.
Our internet has changed. Let's start
a new one, a new internet that can't
be broken with a single ISP switch. a
PLAN that requires our consensus to
make a change to slow it down, or to
break it or make it not free. Change
to our new internet will require we
the user to vote that change.
