Roll your own? Make your own local/regional Internet? The technology and the tools are all rather inexpensive.
Also consider how non-neutral things like email might be when Microsoft and 'self-elected' companies in the name of "spam prevention" obstruct establishment of email services by blacklisting IP addresses in the name of "it was used for spam...two years ago". Microsoft rolling out email products and blacklisting IP addresses and having cryptic, difficult means to overcome such. That is, if you have a company and decide to set up your own email server at a datacenter, you might not be able to send email to anyone because the self-elected anti-spam 'councils' and Microsoft and others might prevent you forcing you to subscribe to Google, Microsoft or major-ISP mail services. Not to mention what is done in the name of "computer security" --blacklisting sites. "Someone used that IP three years ago to send out 100 spam invitations so we blocked that IP address FOREVARRRR". Makes sense, right?
Since for as little as $5/month anyone could set up their own private, encrypted email system server and avoid having mail stored on and snooped by Gmail, AOL, Hotmail or Yahoo -- what do they do? They set up these 'spam' blacklists so that unless you are sending email from Gmail, AOL/AIM, Yahoo or Hotmail or Microsoft or Microsoft-managed platforms your outbound emails get blocked! "Its not from a big company or managed by one so your e-mail are no good." What? That's network neutrality right? Do they bother making note that the domain name has changed and drop the IP address from the blacklist? NO. Sure you can go through processes to get the IP addresses removed with some organizations --but Microsoft might not even reply--the goal it seems is to force you to use a major ISP or Fortune 500 email provider.
