The ideal solution would be to have a worldwide amateur data network, 
based only on amateur-radio resources (microwave, HF, etc.), which would 
be independent of the Internet.

We have the IPv4 space (44.x.x.x net) and the open-source tools 
(Mastodon) to replace the data-mining, you-are-the-product commercial 
solutions.

This network would provide the driving need to keep our spectrum, which 
is rapidly being eroded by the FCC for 5G.

Obviously, this network would be the backbone for amsat-bb and other 
amateur mailing lists/resources. This source material could be relayed 
to the Internet, for those without direct RF access to the 44.x net.

So many ideas, so little time..
