I think there's room here to have a 'public option' open source implementation with appropriate governance / rules. Give everyone a basic 10 digit @ email.usa.gov. But I also think there should be a government regulated digital 'town square' for each level of government, with township / county being optional but the rest funded by taxes. Then have those groups determine what is allowed and what's not, through people they nominate in elections. This is like the 'public option' for Facebook. But mostly I just think this because I want more tax dollars to go to open source projects trying to solve problems that are very real and very much caused by the incentives of private industry.
