You don't come here for the hunting do you?

Activate chattelites!

Great idea! Another option would be buy into privately owned satellites. These are satellites that have served their time with there original contractors and have been sold off to an independent communications company. These are entire systems, up and running now. Good Luck

Pretty cool reminds me of that guy in Mexico who made his own island with empty water bottles and nets. Think how big a country we could make with all the discarded water bottles and fishing nets.

can we not make our own network via wifi/power or other mean just a cheap stb box/modem with dish amp or something connecting everyone together with no charge just free connectivity to each other....

I would like to remind you slavery has existed through the history of mankind. Many races enslaved lower class members of their own race. So a "slang/alternative" word for a slave cannot be a racial slur, it can only be a label (and quite mean) as anyone can be a slave to anybody else.

Now since you wanted to play political correctness king, and I will make some assumptions on your behalf. I take it you live in the western part of the world and the race you are refering to are African as that is the most recent case of slavery most people are aware of in the western world. So I pose you the question, are you racist? As you seem to think only black people are slaves......

Plus the fact that Chattel is defined as "A civil relationship in which one person has absolute power over the life, fortune, and liberty of another". No mention of what race or colour the slave is there.

I can see this working. Wikipedia works. It would take about the same type of effort methinks.

Simple question here; If the staaelites would provide only spotty "bursts" of service, as mentioned at the end of the article, how then do Wild Blue and or Hughes Net provide sattelite internet service? Seems to me that this type of service is already in place, other than the servers being land based. Are the Hacker sattelites going to host the servers in space as well?

Actually, "chattle" isn't even a word. If the poster meant "chattel," WordWeb defines it like this: "Personal as opposed to real property; any tangible movable property (furniture or domestic animals or a car etc)"

Any cubicle slave is treated by most corporate managers as chattel but there is nothing racial about it. Slaves are chattel; so are commercially raised cattle and chickens or the kitchen wares at a Chinese factory outlet like :Wal-Mart.

Even if it somehow gets passed and they get that expensive thing out there, the government (backed by big business and the media) is gonna "accidentally" destroy it somehow, maybe a low-orbiting satellite or an errant missile.

It is an interesting concept. It is much cheaper to use low orbit satellites than geostationary satellites. Theoretically, it should work, as long as there are always satellites in view, and they can be precisely tracked. A full data transfer (a set of IP packets) does not need to use the same satellite; only a single IP packet does. (This is how the internet works on land, anyway).
