Yeah, things and people tend to work better if hosted
on land...

I believe I'm on land here... ;) And there're a lot of
islands with lots of people out here. 1/3 of the planet
and all. :)

What I meant to say is a lot of folks get connectivity
through satellite. 500msec plus and jitter to spare.
Further it's expensive and all the 'busy' sites cost a
lot of money to download the stuff folks on this list
don't blink an eye at and you can't turn it off. I
believe satellite coverage serves a lot of the planet's
population.
