..this is a "billable traffic metering" server product, no?
I think I've seen such stuff, under the GPL too.
Viable with hotels, airports or cybercafe's, but
defeats the fat pipe idea elsewhere, IMHO.

..how about taking Tangier or Tetouan first? Allows connecting to
Spain, Algeria or Gibraltar, and should cut link pricing "next time".
..also, consider adding the cities along the link spans, to the link
market, adding these to flying relays, is trivial and should be
profitable.

..uhmmm, with my relay drones, there is also wiring in Algeria,
the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, mainland Spain and Gibraltar.
This eventually builds an incentive on the local telecom. ;-)
..and, is Maroc Telecom, or are the Maroccans really really really
not interested in building a couple of new industries? ;-)
