Probably this is not a wise thing to say publicly, but look at the history of things. When the internet gets overblow, oversold, over-commercialized, and over-patrolled, it's only natural that an alternative would eventually replace it. What we need is a 100% new, open standard, overhauled framework that enforces privacy and availability of all content. Delivery would be the big issue, as the current methods and lines are all owned by corporations. Probably radio or satellite will be the only logical choice.

I love the internet, but I suspect it's days are numbered in the form it is now. People will always produce a new, better alternative when the current choice becomes undesirable.

And yes, I am a programmer and web designer, and I realize that what I am saying would involve tremendous effort to accomplish ;)
