I am basing some of the blue planet-like internet ideas on this
``the InterPlanetary Internet is a store-and-forward "network of
Internets" that is often disconnected, with a wireless backbone fraught
with error-prone links and delays ranging to tens of minutes, even
hours, even when there is a connection. `` - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Internet
