Althea.org

i absolutely love this!

this for me is where the decentralized internet has to go next, local level, pay to play, lots of different backhauls, faster equipment, local networks away from corporate structures and instead community owned.

Althea is a system that lets routers pay each other for bandwidth. This allows people to set up decentralized ISPs in their communities. In an Althea network, instead of one ISP at the top collecting monthly payments, many different people can earn money by expanding and strengthening the network.
