The internet is already decentralized. Some billionaire can't do anything to fix the situation, at least not directly, because our draconian copyright and network access laws are the only reason that walled gardens are able to exist.
The internet as used by many, many people consists of a few centralized walled gardens. Walled gardens also exist because of network effects.
An open internet is _not_ a technical issue. It's a legal one.

Perhaps it's a social one as well.
