It seems the government just wont quit with their war on the internet. If it's not SOPA, it's ACTA, if it's not ACTA, it's something else, now this. They just wont quit. We have to constantly be fighting all these bills and stuff and it's getting really old.
I think the only solution at this point is seriously looking into a darknet. Not a darknet on top of the existing internet, but actually running our own fibre and point to point wireless backhauls. A meshnet, basically.
There's a project going on for this:

I really hope it works out in the long run. The biggest burden to physical links is money, as well as government regulation, as they could easily just make the whole thing illegal, which is probably what's going to happen. Currently most of the backhauls are still over the existing internet, but at least it's a network where everyone has more control. I've been wanting to setup a node myself. Waiting till I upgrade my VM environment, as it will be virtualized.
