30 years ago the Internet brought enormous power to the economy. Today, we need to make the same magnitude of shift, once again.

Disrupting the Internet Leviathan

2. Disrupting the Internet Leviathan
The Internet is a dinosaur, even at inception was unable to deliver:
security, reliability, quality, freedom of use, high profit margins
Today we’re reaping the whirlwind:
unstoppable attacks, monopolisation, costs, high prices, low quality
And taxes, regulations and bailouts!
The best so called Internet innovation can fairly claim is “mitigation”

3. Disrupting the Internet Leviathan
Creating a new tech paradigm where:
Security and reliability are obviated
Connectivity and distribution are total
Impossible to be monopolised
Costs constantly fall. Quality constantly rises
Profit margins stabilise for the best providers alone

4. Achieving this Distruption by
Making it pointless to hijack or steal any of it
No limits to who can join - no thief and terrorist creation
Using radical, innovative technology
blockchain and dispersed networking
It has to be radical, this is a global shift, what else could it be but radical!

5. No longer any need for
Security
Reliability
Explicit connectivity
These are now moot by implication

6. Innovation - What is it Really?
A mindset switch - not a material thing per se
Yet hardware and software are still mutually inclusive
Innovation is a relic in the industry, though many claim it still
A ‘change of mind’ is its foundation
Stepping over the frontier to see what is there
Leaving behind the old world, permanently
Takes courage, in the ‘herd psychology’

7. Technology
Root cause change mentality
Blockchain - inherently secure
Dispersed Networks - ubiquitous connectivity
Challenges/Naysayers
BIG - those terrified of change
Technology religious, dysfunctional government, monopolies etc
Delay sensitive, Giant data streams, many small transactions

8. Dispersed Networks
Even more dispersed than ‘distributed networks’
Connectivity is widely so dispersed, it’s impossible to attack
One cannot attack the whole network (resources)
Security is obviated inherently and by implication
Resilience is moot, it’s also built in at inception

9. Blockchain
Using the existing well known technology for store and forward
Further developed to dynamically support:
real time transactions, delay sensitive, big data
Quality is built in
Traffic engineering and QoS already in the original plan
Further obviating security and resilience

The remedy is so radical, it won’t be
considered, if we believe less drastic
measures might work
Yet it’s so simple, it’s effectiveness will
be discounted, until more elaborate measures
have been evaluated
