        I imagine the same way all meetings, coups, revolutions, and the like has happened since the beginning of humanity:

        You meet and talk in person.

          You really think us young adults who have grown up in a world never knowing a time without internet would be able to actually pull that off? I know I couldn’t, even if I tried.

            You really think if everyone lost access to their porn machines they wouldn’t immediately call up their friends and say wtf?

                People generally use apps and such, but as far as I’m aware most phones still come with a phone number these days

                  What’s your point?

                  As soon as your calls makes it to a cell tower it gets encapsulated and routed over a telco’s network. Any call you make from one call provider to another will traverse the internet. And depending on the extent of the thought experiment for disabling the internet, you could include disabling individual telco’s networks as well, meaning you won’t be calling anyone… except for maybe someone on the same tower as you.

                That used to be me. I know it’s cliche but if you just push yourself a little bit to get some experience it really does help :)

        Bluetooth

        Building meshnets

        We never actually needed corporations to maintain the internet. The people have just been too lazy and selfish to bother searching out alternatives.
