The answer to this is obviously to run our own ISP and spit on the "big 
boys" with all the saliva and mucus one could muster.

Not just one regional ISP, but several independent national or 
international ISPs, and eventually lay down our own submarine cables.

The status quo can choke on a phallus.

Sidenote: We don't necessarily have to start with submarine cables and 
our own dark fiber, though obviously I'd prefer getting to that point 
before I die of old age.
