    Let’s dream big: how would you organize and pay a huge amount of open source software? Tech project giants?

      We don’t even need a huge amount of open source software. Just the important protocols.

      Similar to how it was done in the early days of the internet:

      Some committee (ideally made up partly of researchers, open-source institutions and private companies) agrees on an open standard, and then they all together work towards improving it, and they all use it in a way that is interoperable.
