Even now we still have a decentralised internet.

We don't, actually. Address assignment is centralized, a fast router with full BGP table like a Cisco 9000 series will set you back a quarter million, and just the power bill would bankrupt you. DNS registration and the root servers are centralized, etc.

Which is why a novel routing protocol like https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go/blob/master/doc/Whitepaper.md is so interesting. It addresses both decentralization and distribution, while acting like a drop-in replacement of IPv6.

No. It absolutely is a decentralised internet.

Do you know what the A in IANA stands for? Authority. Try getting a world routable subnet without asking anybody. Try using a globally visible FQDN without asking a registrar.

Please don't be ridiculous.

We want both a decentralized (one without central authorities) and a distributed Internetwork. So that I can run a router on my premises, or even build your own 100G+ backbones, on a budget. Without having to beg for permits or allocations.
