"do u know any indian who stays online for "24 hours" from Home ?? Its just not affordible."
I bet you are not in India now. But broadband have become really cheap (ONLY in cities) in the last 2 years.
"So i guess the first thing to do there would to reduce the cost of internet/infrastructure (just like they did for cell-phones) and then look for finding innovative devices to use it."
In my opinion lots of innovative device and application would drive down the cost of internet. Without market, there would be no incentive to develop infrastructure.
"Everything on 3rd world tech turns into a huge troll for all the knuckleheads who say they don't need technology or electricity, they need food, water, english and some form of the xtian religion noone finds too offensive."
you forgot about the "interesting" ones that talk about villgers geting Mp3 players which is nowhere mentioned in the article.
Seriously, If NASA started selling every bit of junk it can bring back to earth, it will no longer be a rare commodity and people will no longer pay exorbitant prices for it.

No, it will not work. Assume, my pre-message is use NBC + ESPN as the feed. The pre-message is decrypted after 1 week. I assume the evesdropper can get the archives form the respective stations and decode the message.
Same principle applies to using a paticular satellite. We can get information from that broadcast station and replicate the feed. Agreed, all this is not possible for the common man. But then RSA with higher bits is sufficient for the common man.
That was the reason I suggested we use some natural source like cosmic background radiation or some other random event in space which everyone can observe. No one has the abilty to record all the events simultaneously for long time (at least currently and in the near future). But it also makes the system very less practical.
What I ment was this is not a practical method. Not everyone has gigabytes of bandwidth.
As a matter of fact, we do not even require this random number source. My pre message can be use the cosmic background radiation to generate random numbers at this latitude and longtitude in 5 minutes.
"the data rate of the random stream is chosen so that no plausible storage system could retain more than say a few hours worth of the data,"
How will you stream data at such a huge rate when network bandwidth avilablity is very low compared to data storeage.
As long as you can stream data at a certain rate, the big boys (the likes of NSA etc) with huge data clusters can record atleast enough data till the pre-message is decrypted.
Also we need to take into account and keep increasing the data rate as storage becomes cheap.

No one in Microsoft was arrested in India. The software was banned which, the government had every right to do. Change the software or do not sell it here.
The article mentions arrests but does not mention the specifics.
Well as a guy who had been on both sides of the argument (Research student working as part time sys admin in the university to make ends meet)
What we used to do was if they want root access, we used to give them only restricted access to file servers etc and make them understand that there is *ABSOLUTLY* no suport for them.
And now we also had the additional burden to watching out if these computers got any rootkit etc and was scanning other machines on the network.
And mostly guys like this one... the next thing this guy would ask for is rights to mount his home via NFS with him having r00t.
You could have a system based on JXTA. Instead of the bittorrent model, it would be something like the P2P Radio. When the user asks for feed, a neigbour who just recived it can give it to the user (overlay network, JXTA based) or the server can point to one of the users who just received it.(similar to bittorrent but user gets whole file from peer intead of parts. The user also does not come back to server at all, if transfer is successfull. But the problem is this user need not serve others and can just leech)
I feel overlay netwrok scheme would work better than Bittorrent/tracker based system. In overlay network scheme each group of network will have its own ultra peer (JXTA rendezvous) which acts as tracker for all files in that network. I wanted to do this for slashdot effect (p2pbridge.sf.net) but somehow the project has been delayed for long.
I assume It will be DDOS'ed (intentionally or even otherwise due to internet hotspots).
Especially since scalling is a problem. Imagine millions of active connections with database storing the states of each connection. You need far more resources for that than the current system.
"unless you want to confirm your identity using paper documentation (which is your choice,"
If the information can be decrypted only by persons holding the key and verification is optional. Is in't it a public repository where people can have a public secure communication channel (think terrorists) ?
"It is my hope that if an offer were made to me, it would come from a country that was more interested in the production of UAVs/RPVs for civilian and non-agressive military use (things such as border patrols, search and rescue craft, target drones, etc)."
I hope you find someone soon to sponsor your project to build an UAV than a cruise missile. Your best bet would be to find an independent investor than pursuing working for countries as it raises too many political objections.
It is quite unfortunate that your project with the US areospace company was cancelled. I still dont understand why bankruptcy should be one of the clauses of the contract.

Using bittorrent to distribute movie files is cool. But it is not exactly network broadcasting.
P2P Radio is the way to go. It can stream audio and video using peers. There are some p2p radio stations out there and TV stations are not far behind.

You mean like P2P-Radio
And yeah, it can stream video too...
I thought BSD required it more ...you know in case it dies or something
