It's certainly conceivable. Unfortunately I don't think it's at all
likely, because the historical trend has been very strongly towards
more centralization of power and a tighter web of control (and this in
the presence of increasing intelligence, education and communication,
which suggests that extrapolating for more of these things will _not_
solve the problem).
