With out a large and powerful government it's dealing with a small number of huge Telcos. Harder, but certainly possible.

  Geeks are a lot smarter than telcos; we'd win that battle easily. Geeks are a lot smarter than government, too, but they have big sticks to hit with; that battle requires a bit more care.

    We're not nearly as organized as either, though - that would need to change first.

      Any group that is as big as government and as organized would be already on government's radar as a major threat. So you might want to work on your robustness before working too hard on your organization.

        Fair. No one said it had to be the same size, though :-)

    Without a big government, big companies in general would have (or hire) their own sticks.

      That's the "no government" case, not the "without a big government" case.
