This is difficult to articulate in text but I will give it one more shot. The presupposition is that there exists such a thing as "public land." There is no such thing. All land is owned. "Public land" so called, is owned(stolen) by the state. Infrastructure is property that adjoins land owned by two or more parties. (Utilities, roads, and street lights) 
The proposal here is using a mesh-type system where your node is a data propagator as well as a send/receiver. Utilizing either a hard-wired mesh (likely to a high bandwidth local propagation node) or a radio (lower bandwidth self-hosted propagation node). This makes the internet as fast as the fewest hops between you an your local website's closest host server farm. Any break in the mesh would be routed around but through I2P and RNS it is end-to-end encrypted web traffic with blind intermediaries. This is currently a possiblity you would only like be using an ISP's infrastructure without their knowledge which could eventually be found and blocked. Anyway the point is there are self-sovereign solutions but the take time and knowledge that people are wasting serving the state. 

 I appreciate this. I’ll bookmark it and give it some thought. I’m not a telecom technical specialist, but will pass the notes on for discussion. 

At the end of the day, specialization matters, but I’m not sure the scale of the entire USA is the best way to apply centralized solutions, so I agree with you on that.
