A hypothetical sci-fi (or fantasy) scenario question: If a civilization couldn't set up its own internet, or if a curse was placed on it, what would be the best replacement for what it does? in c/[email protected]

Cuba might be a good place to look for a real world example of this. They had the concepts of "SNET" and "el paquete semanal" that were solutions to poor internet penetration, expensive internet costs (pay per MB), and heavy restrictions on that internet.

El paquete semanal is a weekly payload of the latest movies, TV episodes, manga, comics, etc. that gets brought into the country and spread by sneakernet.

SNET is widespread guerilla LAN networking to the point where Cuba had a well populated private WoW server. Also solved some of the Internet cost issues because you could game and share content locally without paying for every little MB.

As of 2020, SNET is now "illegal" and those existing networks are being absorbed into their ISP.
