What about using converted freighters offshore in international waters
for storing the computers? i.e. Sameer the Wolfman Jack of Pirate Internet
Services (tm)
I was told that Belize is offering passports for the next two years for $50,000
and that might be even less if offers were made to the government to provide
low cost Internet access to the citizens of Belize.

Belize has always been known as a home for pirates, A wonderful Cypherpunk
candidate for an offshore data haven!

Why isn't outer space realistic? We already have store-and-forward
packet radio systems in AMSAT satellites - they usually hitch a ride up
with a commercial satellite.

Commercial satallites have land based corporate owners. Remember the
success that Alabama had a few years ago pulling the plug on a New York
based softporn tv satellite distribution system. They simply went after the
assets of the satellite companies and got quick cooperation.
