What I find interesting as a scifi / #solarpunk idea: A world where there's Internet, but only like 4 hours a day. And the times differs depending on where on the planet you are (by some technological / astronomical constraint). So society would be able to communicate with the entire world with high bandwidth, but only asynchronously.
Also interesting from a #permacomputing standpoint. What communication protocols would emerge with that constraint? What would it do to communication behaviour?
