    only a tiny fraction of the people will bother with the immense overhead of steganography it would much more practicable to resort to alternative channels outside the internet, like mesh networking using direct comms (typically ad-hoc wifi modes and other radio protocols to avoid the liability/detectability of cabling), sneakernet, IP over Avian Carriers - those are all cumbersome and rather slow typically, but still orders of magnitude better than trying to pass stuff over ISPs using steganography

      With network enabled SoC's costing $1 and associated charge controller, battery and solar cell coming in around $5 I could definitely see a future where people roll out their own clandestine internets in order to route around the centralized and regulated internet. The simplest form of this is a single access point set up as a piratebox allowing people within range to connect and download/upload files. It could be scaled to a large mesh network covering an entire city.
