Sustainability isn't even the greatest concern: where there are customers (people who pay for access to the network) there is a database of customers (in order to allow authentication) that has to be kept out of the grasp of government agencies.

OK, you might then say "isn't that just a decentralized database?", but in addition to a form of "probabilistic micropayments" that ends up shrouding most of the participants, we are also working on integrating other techniques to make the payments fully anonymous (and have brought on a team of advisors which includes a professor of cryptography who specializes in this area).
