Well you can always just create your own courier. If you want true free speech these days you need to build your own stack from the ground up anyway.

This is well outside of the practical capabilities of anyone but a nation state or large commercial entity. Even then, it's hard. It's more practical for a physical letter than for digital stuff. For a digital service, you'd have to go down to cabling infrastructure or take something like the SpaceX route and launch satellites. If you need something between a few nearby buildings, it's more practical to come up with a solution, but anything further out ... you're kind of stuck.

(Your ISP classifies as a middle man as well...)

It is illegal to compete with USPS to deliver letters.

AFAIK there are exceptions for express couriers, which is why you can still use fedex/ups to delivery documents.

I don't believe the law has ever been revoked that requires anyone sending documents through a non-USPS service* to include the appropriate USPS postage cancelled with a pen along with their shipment

* excepting a point-to-point courier service for some reason

The USPS carved out a few exceptions, like delivering urgent mail. Gaming the system will get you raided by armed agents of the enforcement arm of the USPS.
