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. http://www.belize.com/citzdoc.html 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?

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.
