Darknet

As predicted on this blog a while back we are starting to see projects appear that attempt to create a new internet or circumvent the restrictions being put in place by government and business. One is example is The Darknet Project (TDP).

"The goal behind the project is to create a global darknet, a decentralized web of interconnected wireless mesh networks that operate independently of each other and the conventional internet. In a wireless mesh network, individual nodes can relay data for other nodes, ensuring that the routing of data remains robust as nodes on the network are added and removed."

The idea being that the network cannot be controlled or shut down due to its decentralised nature.
