Hi, Gregory,

First: I hope, more people will realize, that we are >deeply 
in the heart of darkness<, the center of >pirate<-reflections.

For the historical view, you are definitely right.

But: None of these >private< satellite-assessments were 
private. Ariane-Space is a 100%-controlled by Nicolas Sarkozy.
The american and russian space-control-centers are under
control of specific political gangs. No privacy at all....... 

Means: The nations (and their economically-funded pseudo-
political power) are switching off web-humanity and not vice versa.

And (hopefully not in the end) this is why I´m pointing
to the oceans instead of space. For sure, space and oceans are
nation-free (non-pseudo-political) ranges. The expenses are
really different. If you´re able to keep a remote-controlled
pirate-radio for les than 50 000,- E per year, you`re nearly a
genius. You won´t defend >your first private< satellite in Orbit
for less than 15 000 000 $ a year.
If your contents is unimportant enough, not to be recognized
by the mighty, it might get cheaper.
