"What we need is a plan B... there is no plan B right now, there's no clear backup system that we very carefully kept to be independent of the internet . . . what we need is something that doesn't necessarily have the performance of the internet . . . this doesn't need to be a multi-billion dollar government project. It's actually relatively simple to do technically because it can use existing fibers that are in the ground, existing wireless infrastructure.
It's basically a matter of deciding to do it.

THANK YOU, Danny Hillis and TEDTalks FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE... THE TRUTH. WE NEED A NEW COMMUNICATIVE MEDIUM.
