How is this different then freenet?
edit: "While Freenet provides an HTTP interface for browsing freesites, it is not a proxy for the World Wide Web; Freenet can only be used to access content that has been previously inserted into the Freenet network. In this way, it is more similar to Tor's hidden services than to anonymous proxy software like Tor's proxy."
To call it a "new Internet" is a huge stretch and an insult to actual projects that are dedicated to building a successor that extends the present infrastructure, like cjdns (which itself originated from Kademlia, largely known for being used in the eMule network).
It is great to see organizations step up and support a project like freenet, despite the realities of what a truly anonymous network could mean in terms of content and behavior. Maybe a separately funded independent security audit is in order though.
