I am neither American, nor unaware of what "global" means.
The internet is a joining of networks, by users and network operators. International implies "between nations" and I am not willing to give up my freedom to connect "between networks" and "between people" in favor of a model that requires me to first check in with my government in accordance with a treaty it has with your government.
Then you are by your own. And I am certainly with you. But I feel like if you said "I like planet Earth, but I do not want to tuch continents and islands" (Governement and treaties exist if you like it or not). I do not really see how you want to manage. Because most of the independent people you will relate with will try to make big entities compete and protect them "in between". Big entities are Govs, Google, ICANN, ITU and the like. IMHO the easiest ones to trigger are Governments because they have to be coherent with their one self, so you want to help them stay in a good position enough in your own interest. Google, etc. are more difficult to influence if they do not employ you. ICANN and ITU have to be infiltrated or replaced. Even if you have much money or if you are very clever I do not see how you can obtain the best model for what you want to do, and what is your model. jfc
