    You jam me and I’ll just jam you back.

    Exactly. In radio frequency terms, this is the same thing as civil war. And we institute governments in order to prevent that situation.

    See for example, the Seattle CHOP/CHAZ which very quickly descended into violence, ultimately ending in an escape to government and police.

    members acting as their own enforcement

    The point is that this won’t work.

    Again, the goal is not no government, its reducing down to the minimum required governance and heirarchy to accomplish that goal.

    At least in terms of radio spectrum allocation, that’s what we have now.

    how do we prevent large corporations from ruining things

    This is nothing specific to large corporations. I can envision amateur radio operators entering into feuds or disrupting others out of spite or jealousy. “Ruining things” is normal human behaviour. Like the killers in Seattle.

    So your answer is: a free-for-all on the spectrum.

    Radio broadcasters and equipment manufacturers have an incentive to cooperate on this.

    The biggest and most powerful broadcasters, TV and commercial radio stations, have a strong interest in actively jamming their competitors’ broadcasts. The same goes for mobile phone networks, it’s in their interests to disrupt the operation of their competitors’ networks.

    At the moment, those activities are suppressed by authority.

    So capitalist countries harmed other countries and hence in the meme capitalism has a gun. Therefore in the meme, communism should also have a gun.

    I asked:

    “Why does capitalism have a gun but communism doesn’t?”

    That question hasn’t been answered.

    802.11 is created by the ieee lan/man standards comnitee, which takes input from a lot of groups to formulate the standard.

    The standard doesn’t specify which frequency bands to use in which locations though, governments do that. So your response doesn’t address OP’s question.












  • messages would still go through Google and their servers

    As I understand it, there is nothing Google-specific in the standard. At the moment, Google is the main (only?) provider of RCS services to mobile networks though so data is highly likely to go through Google servers. However, that’s not mandated by the standard, it’s just a consequence of the current state of the market.
