@Guy Swann This is as close to a "digital ISP" you're gonna get (btw this doesn't exist. Wanna build it?)

SkyMesh - Drone-Powered Internet Freedom

Seriously, an ISP in space?! Ridiculous. The sky is much closer. On-demand mesh networking with autonomous drones. Pay with ecash, connect anywhere.

Would be so fun to make, I love mesh networks, drones, autonomy, solar power, ticks so many boxes. Maybe the tech will be ready in a decade. Seems like today you'd have too many airspace legality/battery problems. Though overnight-airborne solar plane drones have been achieved, so technically possible...

SkyMesh subscribers can permit drones above their homes. with extremely long-range LoRa antennae and incredible line of sight (yer in the sky, bud) as long as you have a decent subscriber density in an area you wouldn't have a problem.

Reticulum + LoRA seems like the easiest networking starting point. Ah look, you've got me scheming

A person can only dream, that sounds fricking awesome. Will write you a development check once my lotto win comes in! Perhaps the drones could also provide private video surveillance of an area with AI to identify threats to hodler households?
