I do always think about a scenario where the internet goes down for one reason or another. I've got houuuuuurs of content to keep me busy.
I can only think of one scenario where the internet would be shut down and that would be during a blackout sadly.
Bet it happens for political reasons. First rule of suppressing revolutions is to cut communications.
Ham radio enthusiasts will start feeling very pleased with themselves then. Until jammers are brought in anyway.
That's when we hit em with the mesh networks.
It's going to be difficult to jam outside of the cities. I imagine people are going to set up private wired networks in their neighborhoods, or use Wi-Fi mesh. The good news is that at that point, laws against piracy will be totally moot.
