I hear you on this issue.
There are ways of creating ones own internet, it is being done for the resistance with the suitcase internet systems, and cell networks.
Of course the military isn't using the same exact channels and frequencies as the civilian world. But the system is the same, only different
spectrum's. As is shown in the below link;
Demilitarizing the choke point
Would like to add, that is not the point.
When the government shuts down and off all service providers power, the net as we know it will be dead.
The people are going to have mass internet withdrawal, whether or not adhoc networks are created wont matter, the world wide web, was given to us by
the military via darpa, and they can shut it down.
If no providers are broadcasting, you stuck with limited range adhoc.
Not to mention the only way we could set up our own network, would be to do what the communications giants have done already. And that is too much
money to recreate. The options of course are only limited to ones imagination station.
