Line of Sight restrictions.
You would need two towers abit over 150 feet(46 meters) tall to get line of sight 30 miles apart. You'll need a 600 feet(183 meters) tower to reach to the shore if you don't have a tower there. 38 meters wound get you across territorial waters to the shore. I've thought about making small craft/buoy to act as a relay. Maybe a SWATH and Savonius or Lesh rotor as a satinizer and power sorce.
Transponders at the bottom of the sea
Hi Vince, instead of a string of Seasteads, what would you think about sinking a large number of wifi routers? Power would be a problem, obviously, but a huge grid of interconnected submerged Wifi-stations might be profitable because they would be a lot cheaper than satellites and cruiseships etc could use them as well.

- Not sure what you mean. High speed radio or microwave signals do not go through water. If it is a small thing floating on the surface and anchored to the bottom then it could have trouble seeing over 8 to 15 foot waves. It could be possible to have a fixed line of them to reach out to an anchored seastead 200+ miles from anywhere. But I like troposcatter better for that. Vincecate 02:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
