Here are some good notes (with some good links) about the kind of networks we should be aiming at (relatively short.) That link is from this quick roundup of Pulver's Connectivity 2002 conference at the always informative satn.org.
This is the technology, although not necessarily the implementation, that I'm waiting for. I don't like the word "patented" in this marketing passage, but the rest sounds right on:

More utter madness from the MPAA. I've stopped being too outraged by this sort of thing, and am now taking it as an inevitable (and ineffectual) stage that must be gone through by a dinosaur in death throes. Sort of like cussing madly at the people around you as you fall unhappily to dust. But I hope that's not too optimistic, and so I'm glad there are people still getting pissed off at these ridiculous legal plays...
Still, the better response would be to build networks that can't be shut down.
Mozilla 1.0 RC3 is out. Supposedly this will be the final release candidate before the official 1.0. Real soon now.
Other than the sporadic image file corruption problem, RC2 has been perfect.
Cory Doctorow describes using peek-a-booty for what he calls: Distributed provision of service. That's what I'm talking about. We need alternate routing methods to guard against someone trying to take the internet down.
Interesting new beta features at google. At first glance sets is very cool. Go google (but get rid of that dilbert crap!)
