This has been bugging me. There are many alternatives for google services, but the one service that we should be worried about is DNS. I can see companies in the future selling DNS services as some kind of "Gateway to the Internet" type shit. IPv6 can change this to a certain degree, but a lot of ISP's do not support it. In my case, I had to set up a 6in4 via HE. What can we do to take back control? I did switch to OpenDNS until I discovered they were bought by Cisco. Now i'm using HE's IPv4/6 nameservers. Any ideas? If there are any DNS experts please chime in.
Are you too inept to run your own resolver?

Thank You.
Sorry, I was being rude for a second there. You seem to be trying to have an actual discussion about technology, but you might be in the wrong place; This is /g/.
Anyway: Unless it gets legally restricted or anything, no company can sell DNS because it's largely invisible to normies. They wouldn't even be able to explain what they're paying for.
You say you want to take back control, and that you are on OpenDNS/HE. I don't quite follow, could you elaborate on your thought processes here?
I just installed a resolver that queries the root servers.
