That's really cool! I was also reminded of people posting content from Mount Everest, a ship in the middle of the ocean. Seriously, at the moment not everyone really needs a domain but it is conceivable that new devices and technology may include domain registration as part of a service. It's entirely possible that someone could run a whole website from a PDA in the near future, and that someones "everything phone" would include a personal domain that would replace current myspace and twitter pages.

I have a friend that lives in the middle of a mountain here in Puerto Rico, he does not get postal mail but uses a satellite link to connect to the Internet.

I will not be able to register any domains? That effectively will exclude some people of doing legitimate business through the Internet.

Could you identify some places where people live that have ISPs but no postal mail?
