Hi,
I would like to place a communications network across the world.
Obviously, the individual communications nodes should be:
- inconspicuous
- not get in the way
Two options seem available:
- burying it in the ground
- placing it at altitude
For the moment, it seems that high altitude could be the thing to do. The network would comprise a few very small alpha, phantom nodes spaced around the world at high altitude.
My questions are:
- to what extent would you find it acceptable to leave the system rezed permanently?
- does anyone have any preference over a minimum altitude for the network? Im thinking around 150-200m, in the clouds. Higher would be possible, but would increase last-mile local loop delays.

We can already IM with others, why is a new communications network needed?
People are going to see unknown objects (comm nodes) on (above) their land and return them to you, making the grid rather difficult to maintain. |

(Though you need to either get the land owner's permission, or buy a one-square plot yourself.) You could put them at ground level in case you need easy access after they're deployed. Still don't undertand the purpose of this system, though. |
