i think - providing the decentralized distributed social networks with FBX,
along with hosting service, would dramatically increase the use of these
 possible domain networks. FBX's could be the routers to some kind of
"othernets" and should be, i think. If users of FBX's, fbx'd OS's etc. could
receive the fast and reliable method to use these "freenets" with their
hardware and/or software --  interest in that "freenet", combined with eventual
possibilities of free video-calling, and other highly possible
wireless benefits,
- could eventually become the key reasons for potential users.

i think - the experienced TAC members could propose the definition for
some "freenet"
and enlist the benefits. Among these mentions of darknets - i'v seen -
people have mentioned
the essential idea of "other Internet", not like a particular solution.
