Thanks to emerging low-cost satellite launches (like from http://interorbital.com/), fun projects like http://sat.mur.at/ are already in the real of being possible. I may be an hopeless optimist, but some relatively low-bandwidth hacker-operated satellite network within 20 years is not totally impossible.

In twenty years, as long as you got something up, it will be high bandwidth compared with today.
