OK, plan B. First, we quantum-entangle a few billion pairs of particles...

Failing that, even without connecting the hundreds (or sometimes thousands) of square miles between cities, I think there is still great potential political, economic and recreational value in decentralized Metropolitan Area Networks, despite the fact that they won't supplant the Internet.

As the project creator I agree. It will never supplant the Internet, but localized networks can play a huge role in how the web works however, and I see establishing these as the real goal of the project.

It is crucial in my opinion how you define the goals of your project.

Can't use quantum entanglement to transmit information unfortunately... It would be nice though.

Is there a reason to believe it would never be possible, or is it simply that we haven't found a way yet?

Here's one video. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xkgklr_the-possibility-of-u... It doesn't really explain things thoroughly, but it's the best I can find right now.
