Actually there are quite a large number of researchers who have concluded that the underlying architecture of the internet itself needs to be more distributed. They call it data oriented or name-based networking, content centric etc. The hardest part about switching over to a fully distributed internet is to maintain existing business models. Either someone will figure out and successfully market a business friendly universal data/computing distribution distribution system/network, or we will see free ones pop up that start to supplant more and more centralized services that are associated with particular domain names on the traditional internet. We are also eventually likely to see very strong push back against ISPs that overcharge for business internet. Well, at least in a sane and just world all of this would come true shortly.
