There is also this (related to HAM/shortwave) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Radio_Mondiale#DRM_software

Sure won’t be transferring torrents over this stuff though. It would serve best as information exchange. 😛

It won’t be long before they restrict our flow of information, and that is day we are all screwed. I am liking the idea of a distributed Internet more and more these days, but I wonder how to accomplish it with such an already noisy wireless spectrum. Obviously land-based connections would defeat the purpose and would easily be controlled by corporation/government orders. Then there is the issue of getting continents connected since currently that is mostly handled by under sea fiber.

Probably futile, but at least we can try to keep our principles. It’s not like the politicians or FCC listen to us anyway. They are just going to do whatever they want, based on whoever fills their pockets.
