> Basically - its a baloon as a first step.

> A baloon with a "webserver"/"file sharing site" proposes some separate problems:

> 1. Make a baloon stay up "long" in the air. High enough to be
> annoying, low enough to allow various "data traffic".
> 2. Define a MINIMUM of devices that needs to go up with it, that....
> 3. A) Can be powered by a "POWER SOURCE".
>     B) Survives very cold climates and tough winds.
>     C) Can't be "hacked".
>     D) Provides a "pirate-like service" that can be accessed somehow
> from ground level.
> 4. In best case - can be recovered.
> 
> All problems related to "formalities" (laws, regulations, licenses

> reality yet.
