   shaping' policies.
   For many users bandwidth isn't free.

     The problem is that bandwidth isn't free; also standing out ;)

   Any idea how much fiber/copper goes dark for extended periods of time?
   Remember Fidonet*? Remember 0.00000...1 == 0! Besides, what's
   privacy/plausible-deniability worth to you?
   *pairing agreements make a lot of bandwidth free both ways, after the
   physical connections are constructed. Problems arise when destinations
   aren't preferred ones, but why would you trickle towards not preferred
   ones? As long as you can onion route towards preferable you'll be
   green.
