ISP's have to be located in countries... I wonder if it's feasible to launch a "Free Internet" satellite or something...


ISPs located in a country that has signed up to the treaty would have no issue communicating with other treaty member ISPs and since the idea is that most of the worlds decent countries are signed up to this new treaty, where's the problem?
