My previous post got wiped out when the duplicate thread was pulled. Before this happens, develop mesh networks in your own communities. Use 802.11b/g routers with OLSR networking. Have a functional community network that is independent of the ISP based internet connectivity. It's not hard to do. The Germans have a find "Freifunk" network between their homes. It shares connectivity to the ISPs, but also allows independent connectivity within a community. Do it now while you have access to the raw materials. TCP/IP networking was designed to be robust and capable of resisting damage and attacks.

Great idea but I’m clueless as to what you mean or where to get these things.

Or some links to "how-to's" to point us non-tech people in the right direction? :)

This is good so we can communicate with each other, but what about getting news from online sources?

Myrddin, does Gopher figure into an alternative in any meaningful way, should the internet as we know it be shut down?
