or open reverse proxy like the one i develop. run it in any country, chain the proxys, etc. data hash based local caches on the proxy promises that you upload a file only once. The best part - static URLs to the files which you can post anywhere, send in e-mail, etc.
if you still read this post - the system features elements of remote access. The software allows to execute commands in the OS shell with just a WEB browser on the client side.
check this company wwww.megabridge.com they have a couple of really cool solutions.
one of them is bundling of phone lines and Ethernet connection over multiple twisted pairs. Let's say that you want to interconnect two offices in 5 miles from each other. this box does the trick assuming you have copper wire (or any wire) in the ground between the houses. It is simple plug and play device. Connect 100Bt Ethernet on one side, connect all copper you have on the other and you get your broadband connection.
It supports up to 16 copper wire pairs or up to 30Mbits/s throughput. Load balancing is completely transparent for the user.
and i bet they are willing to sell you one or two of such devices. show them link to this post.
What is the distance from the nearest town we are talking about ?
I know a guy who lives 4 miles from the nearest town together with other 4 families. local telco told them - dial up access only and they have it at 19200kBits/s or roughly 2KBytes/s symmetrical. This guy has a friend in that town. They installed an amplifier ($100), two WiFi routers ($150) and made focused antennas from cans of coke (they drunk the coke, so the antenna is free). It took a week to install and focus the antennas (they used GPS and all lot of phone calls), but eventually 4 families got 10Mbits connection to the ADSL connection (2Mb/s down 100Kb up) in the town and improved theis access by 10 times. Monthly bill is $60 (for all of them).
Theoretically with 2W amplifier you can beam the WiFi signal to the Moon. you can find lot of information related to the antennas on the net.
Why not to hire a T1 links at 1-2K/month each (rent an appartment in the town if required) and beam WiFi to your community ?
Another way to go is WiMax solutions like those from Alvarion - contact the guys. may be they will sell you an access point. At $200 (if my memory still serves) per connection i think it can be a nice alternative or at least a good base for bargain with local telco. The setup is the same - appartments in the town, a dish in the window, another dish in 10 miles across and you get that 10Mb-20Mb connection depending on the weather conditions, distance, etc.

in Canada they have non-profit organization which promises broadband Internet access for every house in the country.
People can start to establish such cos. Managers of the non-profit organizations can get pretty nice pay check. Means that professionals can be and probably should be hired. Technically this is not a problem to be a small ISP for 10s or 100s households.
developers probably will not move to other country, but the development will. Among 2bil+ people in China and India you can find a couple of guys to support any Open Source project.
Or one can wait 20 years and publish the results after 20 years period. There is also so called "research". This is when all the work done for "research purposes", but the developer does not distribute the product. Keeps in the public domain, but does not distribute the product actively.
SVN access normally is encrypted. Large Open Source servers like SourceForge or Berlios do not require any personal data (they do, but they do not enforce the requirement). No doubt that from IP address of the developer it is possible to figure out the physical address and real name. Proxy servers, like the one i develop can help here.
The major problem is a patent attack against popular free Linux distros. Probably countries like China and India could protect Open Source projects and the servers. That would single out the US which is not good, but acceptable. Open Source projects would remain accessible from the countries which do not block Internet access.
There is other problem, which many tend to forget about. Free, but not open source software. we witnessed more than one product disappered completely after patent related attacks.
btw does anybody think that the currently existing anarchy allows too much "privacy" shit and too much "anti social" noise. We (a community of civilized people) need some order here, don't we ? Some regulations are urgently required.
limit accessible WEB sites by some white list is a good healthy approach and the only system which can be trusted.
And the solution is not new. Try to start your own radio station or use broadcast TV signal over your own cable network. You will probably need broadcasting license from this or that ministry/gov department. the same should be done for the Internet.
Google wants to serve public in Spain and Yahoo wants the same ? no problem. Currently Spain needs only one search engine and will let both companies to bid for the license.
What average Joe can do is using amplifiers, focused WiFi beams and satellite Internet access. This is not going to be broadly available, but some individuals will have unlimited Internet access this way or other.
i tried to move files between three PCs connected wireless and now i start to understand why the performance was so low. currently i use my wireless only to read news in bed when i am sick.
imagoine all that toasted brains in the cities, leave alone noise levels. i guess eventually nobody will be able to use anything wireless. it works fairly good to browse pro0n pics, but pretty much fails if you need data transfer at sustainable near-LAN speeds, like 10Mb or more and i have only 3 access points in the building where i live.
last yest in the big sale day i could buy Linksys wireless (.B, not.G) for $5, which is probably cheaper than power supply of the device. i bought.G online almost two years ago at $60
i am not a MS hater. i do use Linux. i simply do not care about Win32
on the other hand i do think that MS as a corporation cost too much for the society. lack of fair competition syphons money from our pockets to the pockets of the shareholders. and i donate money too from that very mine pocket. i personally donated USD 4K last year and trust me - this is fairly large amount for me. i am in no way a millioner.
it is just under 1% of the US GDP or about the same amount the US spends every year in Iraq
one thig is for sure the guys definitely hate to pay taxes. they probably do not like much the way how uncle Sam spends funds.
another point is that the lamp of money they are going to spend is large enough to run companies like Merck or Pfizer for years.
and may be this is enough to kill all mosquitoes in the world.
interesting also how the stocks of the respective companies are going to react over the period of rather intensive selling.
this is why i block all ads, even google syndication counters. i probably trust cnn servers , but i can't trust to all that IPs my browser pulls the ads from.
besides slowing down the page download (mostly DNS related issues), disturbing my attention and wasting my time my machine (and IP address) is getting exposed to numerous unknown or little known servers.
chain of ads suppliers can be very long. ad can go from the initial seller via multiple broker companys to reach my Linux/Win32. in any point on the way it can be intentionally or unintentionally corrupted.
i bet that upstream of the cell phones will be capped by the service providers and in some cases you will not be able to use bluetooth to exchange ring tones. this is not that hard to limit/block some of the features in the cell phone.
generate ring tones from any MP3 is indeed rather thing to do - there are online services already which do exactly this. the problem is how you access your files. i think that the easy way is to download the file from home PC.

but this is Google, you know .. "no evil" thingy. and their servers are in the US - democracy, freedom of speach and all that.

try to change MTU, put there 1400 or even 1350 bytes, check if it helps
there are trade agreements between countries. you buy a patent in the US you get protection in many
this is by far the best analysis of the problem i read so far
how they call it ? diversify ?
