It's great that hackers everywhere are thumping their chests waiting for the bill to pass so they can prove their flavor of a circumvention scheme works. I don't think anything extra needs to be created from what we have already apart from perhaps easier-to-use interfaces for the plebs. Software, in particular encryption everywhere, is the only viable solution, and we can still use existing hardware. A satellite seems like a stupid idea though. It can easily be shot down (as both the US and China have demonstrated), costs a lot to get up there (where's this money coming from?), and is technically a weapon of mass destruction (as are all things in space). Side-note: it was kind of hard to read this, I'm assuming the author's first language isn't English...
