StarBand (http://starband.com/) is expanding internationally.  It will soon
be available in Latin America, for example.  Plus, broadband is available in

Amazon.com, plus massive bookstores are fairly common outside the US.  Even
Singapore has its MPH chain of bookstores.

rural cost of living.  There are extreme telecommuters working out of Bali.
