I've noticed community ran ISPs are on the rise. It would be great to see a boom like in the 90s as some ISPs have such a monopoly

Local ISPs were either replaced or taken over by larger operators. But one had to show up and put cables. VPN is rather like FTP hosting of 2020s, global and anyone with WireGuard source anyone can fork clients and make VPN in a little time, even one dev business.

Except most genuine use cases for VPNs are at best legally questionable.
