I use Ubuntu Mate, of Linux, for my OS and I see ad-hoc as a WIFI option. For the future for people, I would suggest Bit Torrent style of peer to peer ad-hoc WIFI if people are not already trying to do that.

I would suggest WIFI and ISP blockchain networks that could pay people to rent out hard drives, RAM, GHZ, speed, space, nodes, routers, modems, cables, satellites, dishes, phones, computers, laptops, devices, tablets, servers, and anything to help with blockchain internet that can be as decentralized as much as possible or through paid cryptocurrencies compensation, as in paid benefits and also paid in reputation points like they do here on Steem.

I would love to have a phone that could send an email, for example, from America to China through the air through like a short wave WIFI signal that could travel that far like radio but without nodes or anything. And if that is not possible to do yet, then we should find a way...... just Just like how Star Trek Voyager had to find a way to send a signal to earth from the the Delta Quadrum. I want to see more rivals and competition with ISP and phone companies and power plants and electricity companies and education and health care and entertainment and transportation and food and many things. Can you surf the web through FTP or other things that are not the normal HTTPS protocol or DNS and/or other things like you were saying...... Or or what do they call it for the normal path to accessing internet and everything?
