World’s first? This idea of extreme
reductionism seems to be a recurring theme and often coupled
with blockchain as the solution.
One issue is the idea that you can price
for each bit as if it were a physical thing had intrinsic
value and a well-defined portion of a whole when value is in
the whole, not in each individual part.
Bob, I entirely agree. But with your permission may I attempt an
analogy with data and its value. Right, connectivity's value is in
the whole not any one part of it, and therefore it is should be
community owned -- as this group advocates. But is it also not so
with data, where too the value is in the whole (the patterns in
it) and not individual pieces of it? Why should then data also not
be community owned, rather that it be commodified? (Or even be
individualised, in terms of data's economic value, as a lot of
initiatives currently attempt. Privacy right is different, as a
negative right, a right against....)
It’s a reminder of the challenge people
have of thinking in terms of empowering communities to own the
common infrastructure. It’s one of the C’s in DC3.
In the same way, communities should be empowered to own their
common data infrastructures, intelligence arising from which
should be collectively managed for common good. Would such a
comparison to the connectivity debate/commons hold?
My apologies, if this community working in the area of
connectivity commons considers bringing in data commons here as a
digression and 'out of scope'. The thought just occurred to me on
reading Bob's - always evocative -- comments.

I am
struggling to understand what is P2P about this
It seems
more like FON + LoRaWan + blockchain
