Would BitShares or blockchains allow for a bandwidth market?, the way Enron tried in 1999, albeit unsuccessfully

I think it's easy to get blockchain DAC-happy, but I don't see a dedicated blockchain for this as being useful. I think what's needed is just a protocol for prepaid purchase of bandwidth on a mesh network. It could work with any chain based payment system of course, and would likely also depend on an ID chain and perhaps others, but I don't see how a dedicated chain would help the business model.
A bandwidth blockchain dedicated to DAC shareholders would be a fantastic idea. How it would be implemented or financially beneficial to miners is another thing. But a good idea in theory.
