        I feel you didn’t read the article? Packet switching was the central idea behind ARPANET? There’s no question whether it could be used?! I mean you’re looking at the first large-scale network of that kind…

            Well, the internet has to come to your home in some way, right? And someone needs to dig long trenches and lay cables to connect you to the next internet node/hub. Usually that’s done by big companies. Because it costs a lot of money to lay these cables, power all the amplifiers and switches… Maybe you have a smaller local provider available in your region. But other than that, you’d need someone to provide the infrastructure to you.
