Wait, what?

The internet is a distributed model. It's very nature is to be distributed. If it weren't distributed it would not be inter, nor would it be a net. It would just be a computer.

Also, your first paragraph is like trying to read Italian. I recognize those words, but they don't make sense in that order. Why would I want to spend $3-5k (or more, if you're rural and have to cover miles instead of yards) digging a trench and running fibre to my neighbour? How does that accomplish anything?
