A little antenna with directional management like the OmniTRACs system would handle the slow travel, pitch, roll and yaw of a ship. Suitably nanoized, it could fold up from a little box 100mm x 100mm x 10mm with built in wifi.

Backhaul is the big cost in providing mobile cyberspace. Cook Islands ADSL providers charge an arm and a leg. NZ is bad enough. NZ charges about 0.1c per megabyte for ADSL [extra amounts] whereas Cook Islands is about 15c per megabyte [I forget exactly].

This company is planning of laying new fibre to USA to get prices down from the high charges of Southern Cross: pacificfibre.net

There is also Thuraya: thuraya.com providing competition to Globalstar. It looks as though their systems could do the same wifi to satellite service as we are discussing for Globalstar, albeit with greater latency, which is a bad thing.
