We at the Unternet are working on building a whole new way of using the Internet, making obsolete the redundant and time-wasting logins, passwords, and profiles on dozens of different websites. Here your email account is your login, and instead of a password, you use a Thawte Freemail certificate.
Another main goal of the Unternet is to replace the military-sponsored, hierarchically-structured Internet with a grassroots network of high-speed local networks joined by lower-speed point-to-point connections with the rest of the world. This will allow global communications but be optimized for sharing voice, video, and other content with one's own community. Low-cost wireless routers running OpenWRT and its variants will be the core. An IPv6 addressing scheme based on Tony Hain's draft Provider-Independent Addressing specifications will provide the location-based unique IP numbers necessary for Internet independence.
If you haven't already done so, set up your account at Thawte, install your Freemail certificate in your browser, come back here, and login.
