From my perspective, the main issue comes in that we only get a single point of connection to the internet -- our ISPs who, because they have monopolies over many areas, can manipulate our traffic with little to no repercussion. A simple solution would be to remove this monopoly, though there may currently only be a non-technical solution -- to legally break it up. There may be a technical solution in transforming internet into some sort of peer-to-peer based wide area mesh network, though this would take a lot of time and effort.
