This is how early protocols were designed. Everyone was supposed to be a SMTP (e-mail) host. Everyone was supposed to run FTP and HTTP. Everyone got an equally routable (the link quality depends, of course) address, not some 3rd level NAT retail monstrosity. If you needed aggregation, you make search sites like Google (and AltaVista and others before it) and RSS to pull data from multiple sources and CACHE IT LOCALLY.&lt;p&gt;Of course I welcome projects like PeerTube, but I&amp;#x27;d much rather go back to the original idea. No ISPs or Clouds, only Peers.&lt;p&gt;With Internet like water grid - a utility.</text></comment>
