This appears to have bounced due to a configuration error on my end...

(the higher your density of sites, the more accurate your
coordinates need
to be).

you could aggregate addresses by doing something like:

2 hemispheres

36 'triangular' chunks spaced every 10 degrees latitude.

then split up in longditudernal stripes.

but i think you'd be better allocation on the basis of
population density.

How exactly you'd make the social and economic changes to get
to a system
like this vs, the telcos/isps we have now is probably more
trouble than it's
worth ;-P
