It's too late to slice the IP address space into anything with
geographic significance, but the "next great network" address
space could possibly be keyed with time zones? Just a
not-altogether-silly thought.
So what do we do when the Space Station Freedom gets its Internet
link through TDRS? My understanding is that it is going to be in low
earth orbit, rather than geosynch, so it will not stay in one
timezone.
