This kind of behaviour is going to lead us to having two seperate internets.

True, but does it need to be the biggets to be valuable.

> not a single native English speaking country in there

Except there are native english speaking countries in there, and besides, europeans can very often (region dependent) read/write english anyway.

Also, do you just not want to support none english content? What about spanish speaking Americans?

I also think you'll lose many users in other eurasian countries that use an anonymising network and have exit nodes in the EU.

That's effectively the network setup I have. A long range radio link to a farm in the area that then has an upstream link (again via radio) to a residence that has a fiber connection.

The latency can be huge when we have less-that-optimal conditions.

Since the throughput is low and the latency high, it's not streaming-video capabl. A buddy downloads a load of movies to an ssd and drops that off every now and then.

For real-time news I use an actual radio. There are some good news and music stations in the area.

I have an offline copy of the spanish language wikipedia.
