Establish the people network first (that's the hard part) and then you can use a multitude of toys and techniques to transport those packets.
Have a read of my altnet series: #330735

Wow, thanks a lot, I need to study a lot. Was thinking about lora recently but I don't have the hardware yet.

and then just search 3D printed cases. If you have the print file (usually .stl file) you can send it to a company online (there are many look them up) and they'll ship the print to your house.

915 is the radio frequency of the unlicensed band in the US, but look up what it is in your country, remember this won't penetrate walls so don't keep it inside expecting to reach anything and also remember to establish that people network because you can just as well flash a light with Morse code to transmit a message lol.

This is the topic that needs a second look. I am curious as to their ability to deprecate the InterWeb. This really made me think. Are they thinking that we are soft enough to think that they can do it or are they thinking that we are too radical that they want to put a stop to to it to disrupt the truth from coming out.

90% of individual tax returns were filed online in 2023. They aren't going to shut down the internet. https://www.irs.gov/statistics/returns-filed-taxes-collected-and-refunds-issued

Naive. Even key shut offs at specific locations during specific moments of unrest is tactically sound.

Most of you guessed it right Meshtastic LoRA, Starlink, CJDNS, TOR, I2P, Retroshare are just a few of the currently available technologies that will stop them or keep them from shutting down the InterWeb. Besides the InterWeb or ClearNet is the cheapest form of communication so why will they shut it down. It is their dilemma and conundrum to deal with. We can replace whatever it is that they are trying to use to blackmail us with.

Meshtastic the app built for the LoRa band, is low bandwidth. Its a bandaid, not a replacement. If internation packet routing is blocked (as Russia planned to do at one point) or key sites blocked (China's great firewall) or if access is gatekept by ID (South Korea before sometime in the early 2010's) a higher bandwidth solution would need deployed. There are directional wifi repeaters for that as well as delay tolerant network packet routing for those cases.

Shutting down the internet I don't see as too likely, but censoring is almost certain. Find ways around censorship!

I have been attempting to imagine a global mesh network that doesn't rely heavily in ISPs. I asked about it here #664201.
In my head I imagine you have a device (wireless AP or just your phone or computer) discover other wireless devices nearby and use them to route traffic globally. I would also expect the devices to work if you just connect them via (ethernet) cable - they exchange information and learn that they support this hypothetical network and use the connection for global routing.
I also imagine using bitcoin to pay all intermediate routing nodes either for traffic, per packet or per time (with policies set by node owner - he can set it to route for free, but the ability to get payment should exist). Also this network should bridge to the existing internet.
If such thing is possible and if implemented I would imagine that most traffic will still be routed through traditional ISPs, but the threat of easily bypassing them will make them behave friendly to the users.
