Speaking for myself, I would suggest (a) getting your favorite ISPs  
to run a scavenger service (IP layer), and run DCCP over it  
(transport layer). DCCP has similarities to TCP in that it has a  
duplex connection and manages throughput; it differs from TCP in that  
it does no retransmission. The purpose of the window is to control  
the rate - like TCP, DCCP sends one window per RTT, but unlike TCP it  
discards any excess that the application might give it.

Running UDP over a scavenger service, you fill a lot of pipes with  
traffic that will presumably be dropped later. Running DCCP, you drop  
that traffic in the first place.
