great, instead of hiding those proxies in some random apartment complex with a fibre optic connection, you're putting them up in the sky for all to see - I doubt this post is serious. and btw. what about the ground receivers? your local law enforcer can take those down pretty easily and I imagine if you're gonna send 100Mbps thru the air, somebody's gonna pick up on that pretty easily.
if I was piratebay, I'd rent a cheap appartment somewhere in downtown zurich (switzerland is unlikely to take down filehosters (rapidshare is located here as well)), get one of those cheap fibre optics connections (check under: http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/content/ewz/de/index/telecom/ewz_zuerinet/verfuegbarkeit_pruefen.html http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/content/ewz/de/index/telecom/ewz... ) and install your servers in there. you get 100 mbps up for about 200$ a month. admitted it's still an expensive setup, but that would be some reliable hosting.

Not to mention that Swiss server bandwidth is relatively expensive, see eg http://www.softronics.ch/en/products/linux-dedicated-server.php http://www.softronics.ch/en/products/linux-dedicated-server....

- notatoad 15y ago"what about the ground receivers?" exactly. unless they're planning on running a free wireless network from their servers in the sky, they're going to need to plug in to the internet somehow. there's not much point in having an untouchable server if the link is just as vulnerable as a traditional server.
