Well, public key cryptography lets us have an ID, and then prove that we own it. We could even publish a record from that ID, instructing people to connect by following a set of directions. But what are those directions? "Go straight down the pipe, then turn left, then turn right"?

Hardware addresses only work in a trusted setting.

Of course this also assumes we get rid of all the major telcoms and lay our own lines and create a whole new internet. But assuming we did that, could it be possible?
