I can't help but believe that many individuals will set themselves up in business offering software, hardware, services and advice to people to help them confound the data-keepers.
Can't believe it's not already the plot of a hundred Sci-Fi novels
It would be fascinating if someone were to start an IndieGoGo fundraiser to "Buy a Senator"
Buy a senator and have him introduce a bill - something good, like forcing the cablecos to share their lines with competitors at cost, or legalizing marijuana for adults.

As a joke, I once stuck a 5.25" floppy to the refrigerator with a large magnet.
