That sounds like a business opportunity for a service provider specializing in packet filtering.
So cloudflare?
I think solving the "last mile" problem in the US is our greatest problem, especially in rural areas. Too many state and local governments have been paid off by lobbyists to pass laws to block any competition from offering cheaper and better options. Too many people are stuck with slow, expensive, and unreliable cable and/or DSL ISPs. Some have no choice whatsoever. Some others get to choose only from two equally awf…

This is unfortunate because a couple of attempts get _so close_. You've got public docker repositories, terraform, aws service catalog (or cloudformation), all of which could fill this gap directly or via their own services if they had a slightly more beginner-accessible workflow...
How do any of these things help? "docker repositories, terraform, aws service catalog (or cloudformation)" These are all part of the problem, and can never be the solution.

Could you expand on both of those? They sound really interesting but I'm not sure I understand the issues or use cases.
Provable identity: you get an email, hi i'm a hiring manager from company X, can we get in touch about job Y, could you please send me your (secret) phone number? It should be possible for you, the receiver of the email, to check if the email originated at company X. Digital Notary: this came up in several data privacy discussions. You (A) are in contact with B, but you don't want to send B something like a scan of y…

The ITU made a high frontier claim that was their core mission in the 10-20 year window. They made this claim 10 years ago. I'm not seeing strong evidence its being solved, aside from trickle down re-purposing of old 3G systems and Chinese investment in not-very-good infra to offset their coltan mining in Africa.
An accquaintance lives 10km outside metro Bangkok. It's an amazing city and its as plugged in and switched on as anywhere else in Asia, the rats nest of wires is a testament to ad-hock hackery. 10km outside the city margins, its a dead zone for high speed service. And Thailand has a huge rural population.
Rinse and repeat for Africa.

What I don't quite understand is how these rural areas got electricity. If it's so expensive to run something to a rural area, who ate the cost of providing grid access? Or is cable/fiber just significantly more expensive per mile compared to electricity?

Please prove you are human. Not what we really want from the internet, but thanks to these companies it's what we have to endure. As a consequence nothing is automation friendly, stupid netblocks are in place on many sites and an array of VPNs are an almost a requirement now just to obtain information.
We could use a very basic standard so that I don’t have to click on cookie banners for every single website…
De-ossifying the Internet is necessary for solving many other problems like the IPv6 and RPKI transitions. There's a lot of room to optimize latency whether it's removing bufferbloat, L4S, or cISP.
There is not many ways to get rid of bufferbloat if you want to keep packet routing/switching networks.
