Another major challenge is communication. Even when you have a data haven, how do you plug into the Internet backbone? How do you get Tbps bandwidth to serve the world?

That left the entire operation with a pokey 128 Kbps satellite link, which staggered badly under denial-of-service attacks. In Neal Stephenson's novel Cryptonomicon, the data haven is a main theme in its plot.
