The internet should be entirely decentralized. We have the technology.
The internet IS decentralized.
Not nearly as much as it should be. In many places certain ISPs have near monopolies over internet access, and domains and dns used on the web are managed by ICANN. Sure, there's alternatives to that, but barely anyone knows or uses them
Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn't change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.
That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.
