I'm not sure if i've discussed this before but on the topic of rethinking, and reinventing the Internet, would google not be the perfect people for the job?

“The internet has been a hotbed of innovation because it’s “dumb”. The designers didn’t presuppose how the internet would be used and that has made it extremely flexible. But what we are running into now are scaling and security problems, and some people are asking: if we were building the internet from scratch, what would be the ideal clean-slate design?”

If they could draw up this network, and implement it forthemselves, and make it something that would be beneficial for more to join, then eventaully (in a long time) the internet as we know it would be phased out as everything would also exist on the new network. Ensuring openness must be a priority. As must be anonymity.

"If a planet-wide data network, akin to the internet, were built on Mars, what would it look like? That might sound like a silly question, but it raises an important point. The design of computer networks is constrained by the need to be compatible with the internet and other systems that have grown up over the past four decades. What if network designers could start again with a clean slate, unencumbered by today’s messy reality?"
