I guess this is off topic, but since you brought it up, re: Israel and the Net - StarBand, innovative two-way broadband satellite internet, is from Gilat Satellites, which is Israeli. StarBand hasn't been a great investment but the customers like it. Satellite phones and satellite internet are popular ideas in the Middle East - one of bin Laden's brothers is (was?) a partner in Iridium (back from the grave!), the Sheik that Giuliani gave the check back to is a partner in Teledesic. Thuraya is a successful United Arab Emirates sat phone company. ACES is a successful Indonesian/Philippine/Thai sat phone company. Osama bin Laden has a sat phone.
