I don't think that the FCC is going to listen. I don't think all of our petitions and pleas to keep net neutrality in place will do one bit of good. There's just too much money wanting to pull it down. So what other options are available? I wrote about possibly crowdsourcing the internet in a post yesterday ([link to that awesome piece of writing](https://steemit.com/technology/@thehypnotist/crowd-sourcing-the-internet)) . But then today I found this [article and video](https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/7x4y8a/net-neutrality-fcc-community-networks) by Motherboard/Vice. It goes to give a very cool example, in the city of Detroit, of what crowdsourcing the internet could look like. People working together to build connections to the internet without an internet service provider (ISP). Getting to see people who want to make things better for themselves and their neighbors is such an amazing thing, and the people in the video are doing a great job. https://video-images.vice.com/articles/5a144b5df679c84240bff3d0/lede/1511279656682-DSC00182.jpeg?crop=1xw:0.7968329596412556xh;center,center&resize=600:* *image credit to Lara Heintz/Motherboard* It's going to be something that takes people stepping up in their own communities to work together to build something beautiful. I'm curious as what you all think? Will ISPs continue to carry a monopoly of control over what we share, or will we be able to finally truly connect with each other?
