Internet connections in Micronations
If I made a new micronation on water (something like Sealand), how could I get an Internet connection there? 192.103.98.4 (talk) 06:53, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Satellite uplink. 218.25.32.210 (talk) 07:38, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * If you were in sight of land, a microwave link would be a pretty good solution. Or IP over Avian Carriers SteveBaker (talk) 13:51, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * If you're on the cheap and within say 300 km LOS of land you could just try Long-range Wi-Fi . Mind you you'll want to be careful that you don't use too high powered a transmitter or you'll give your neigbours an excuse to invade you. P.S. Before any nitpicks, yes I do appreciate any wifi is a microwave link Nil Einne (talk) 16:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you planning an invasion of Rockall, perhaps, and wanting to edit Wikipedia from there? Deor (talk) 20:03, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You should take an umbrella with you. Googlemeister (talk) 20:30, 18 December 2009 (UTC) [[Image:Rockall wave March 1943.jpg|thumb|right|Winter waves breaking over the islet Rockall in 1943]]
 * But where can you get 300km line of sight to land? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:20, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * From your 7000m tower (can that be right?). --203.202.43.53 (talk) 02:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Based on my calculation, the towers at both ends only need to be about 1767 m tall, assuming that they are of equal height. --173.49.11.197 (talk) 14:33, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
