Internet deregulation

I don't know if anyone would put up this sort of thing. At the very least, would it be impossible to create a "new" internet?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well didn't the internet as we know it today start off as something far smaller? I'd imagine there wasn't massive financial backing then and that it sort of grew to become what it is fairly naturally.

Admittedly, I have a very limited understanding as to the history of the internet and how it works, so my reasoning could every easily be flawed.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
