Should we begin working on an infrastructure to replace the internet
Net Neutrality is Dead as of yesterday. As Keith O said, our internet here in the States is about to go the way of China. The corporations will control what we see and how we think. I even predict that DU's days will be numbered along with any outlets that preach against our corporate masters. Yesterday legitimized corporate control of our government. We all knew that it had been going on for years, but yesterday codified it into law and legitimacy. In 8 years, there will not be a single "representative" (hilarious term) for the people who has not been hatched and raised by the Corpos to do their fascist bidding. Our time is limited, we've got to start now or at least very soon.

Do we need to start getting in place a system of short wave radio stations to spread the unwashed truth?

Do we need to start producing underground newspapers or zines to be distributed in big cities?

Living in the South, I'm in favor of a series of shortwave radio stations operated out of the basements of true patriots that will organize us together in the dark underground.

1. Public wireless mesh network maybe. Kind of a public broadband version of pirate radio.
