Homestead Acts allowed private citizens to claim land in the west. It encouraged people to explore and own a piece of the new frontier. What could a similar initiative look like that would encourage citizens to take ownership of the internet frontier?

There was also Handshake Naming Service or HNS. I bought the awedjob tld there. I s’pose I still do. HNS aimed to take back the internet by eliminating the DNS that is controlled by a tiny group of very powerful ppl.
