After the net neutrality rollback in the US (along with the ongoing cable monopolies there), it occurred to me that there may be more interest in cooperative ISPs. Frankly, I don’t know why it hasn’t happened sooner. But having worked with one in Europe, I saw a patchwork of “good enough, kind of” software that is stitched together to get the job done…stuff from Ubiquiti, other vendors and various open source projects of different vintages. In this case they did/do a great job with what’s available, but I think they'd be the first to admit it could be better.

There may be a need for more modern, cross-device management software to serve small to medium sized cooperative ISPs like this, and that there may be a viable, long-term business model here. I picture a small server on each device to be managed and a management server (serving a mobile-first, conversational UI?). Queueing is an important part of this, if a small part of the work as a whole, unfortunately. This wouldn’t be a small undertaking. I’m "just saying” (and getting off the original topic as well, just what I read here made me think of it)…
