I've recently started playing with mesh networks. Yggdrasil is excellent. They haven't solved naming, they're focused on mesh routing with e2e encryption. There's a public network. It's very experimental. But it works and its just so cool!
Also worth mentioning is Nebula (made by the Slack devs). Nebula is great for building private mesh networks.
Its a very exciting space right now! I'm hopeful; an open internet is possible.
Give Google 30 years of Chrome monopoly, and we will see GTML. It already uses GTTP.

You could argue that HTML is GTML already. Their is practically no one else deciding how it evolves.
But joking aside, it's good to have a censor-resistant resolution protocol. This is a more radical idea than the EU's recent proposal to have parallel name servers that obey Europe's GDPR rules.
Still, a lot of power is given to those that control the cables and satellites, and of course the electricity that powers the Internet's hardware. The commercialisation of the Internet has led to more centralization since the 2000s.
A true state of freedom and safety from repression, censorship and dictatorships can perhaps be only achieved with more ad-hoc mesh networks.
