If We Can Trustlessly Route bitcoins in The Lightning Network, Why Don't We Use The Same Concept for Internet Itself To Remove ISPs as Thirdparties?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

They say the bitcoins in Lightning Network will get automatically "onion" routed to the end point user just like TCP/IP, and LN is like HTTP that was built on top of TCP/IP as second layer.

But wait! What's the role of centralized ISPs like Verizon, AT&T that we pay monthly fees to them using their services?

Can Anyone Explain This?
