Quite interesting idea.

On this we could have a distributed web server that scales as new ppl load the (site??). I can see this hurting akamai. People now have 10Mbps-20Mpbs up on DSL and cable; even before widespread FTOH this could become potent. It would also simplify a Tor alternative implementation, would'nt it?

> People now have 10Mbps-20Mpbs up on DSL and cable; Are you talking about the bay area? I have never seen such an connection in a private home. (central and southern europe)

We have it here in Mtl Canada. It's fiber to the neighbourhood and a new hi-speed DSL link for the last 200-300M.

Here in Ukraine that's pretty common. I have 60 mbps for 9$/m, and that is quite normal in Kyiv.

guess what, in the bay area, connectivity up is generally even worse than that. For all the amazing internet companies here, the infrastructure for the public is pretty bad.

southern europe here (portugal) and in the cities it's pretty common
