Interconnected?

[nich37ways]

Is there a system setup for connecting all the local, public jabber servers together to create a world network. Ie if I had the resources and wanted to could I create a server that allows people to connect to me and also talk to a host of international people as well?

As nice as it is been able to talk to people in my country only (Australia) is it as simple as ICQ in talking to people all over the globe?

I know not everyone would want to join such a system however this is what is required to really become popular with the *average* user, ie not anyone reading slashdot.
