Maybe this is a good "gap in the market" moment then - some global, at least not US-centric, CDN/DDOS-mitigation/edge-compute/WAN/DNS/registry competition to cloudflare's core tech. Maybe the way to increase the odds of success would be to develop an easy-install (integrated, containerised/packaged) FLOSS framework and federated control-protocol for those things with main target-userbase being IXPs around the world (yes, IXPs, not ISPs, which means it would all have to be free and open, and able to be deployed in a way that cost-handling doesn't put the IXPs in an awkward conflict-of-interest position). Importantly there is already a lot of FLOSS code available for much of this, so a large part of the work would be integration, UX, etc. Maybe it would then not need to "compete" with a behemoth like Cloudflare but instead iterate towards making some of it "default internet functionality", sidestepping it being opt-in/paid extras entirely. I know such a simplistic high-level definition sounds woefully naive, but I think starting there and discussing real-world details could lead to something...
