It would be an even more centralized nasty beast than it is today.
Neither beast anyone has yet routed around by building out properly
decentralized neighbor-to-neighbor p2p guerrilla networks.
Fiber / copper / WiFi, shovels / ladders, opensource routing devices,
beer with your neighbors and their neighbors... all inexpensive,
needed and competitive.

Curious that cryptocurrency is much farther ahead in global
deployment against the beasts than guerrilla nets, whose basic
concepts... connecting cables and routing packets... were all well
commoditized and deployable by independants / communities
a decade earlier.
