Why don't we ask an expert... Sascha, any comments.
It's on the decline, but still alive (fidonet.org I think).  The
decentralization is similar to some of the community LAN and wireless
technologies, but I wouldn't say Fidonet was a precursor (technologically
speaking).  Its hayday was 1980s/90s, but the Web pretty much crushed it over time.
