Cingular sites may be found at The Island, Stellivia, Phobos, and many of the permanent communities on Mars.

---

Stellvia also hosts a full BT celluar system, for the convenience of European tourists. (Different transmission standards, if I recall correctly. This also means Stellvia is a data transfer point.)

---

need help developing a rule/formula that will let bandwidth drop as distance increases, without killer levels of latency.

---

How quickly do you want bandwidth to drop off? We could do something like "transmission reliabiity varies inversly with the square of the distance the signal travels", which might make transmissions more than one planetary orbit away chancy...

Stellvia, .l5

---

Also the already-existing .or (for "orbital"), in a situation analagous to a company buying the applicable .com and .net addresses. Ditto for Babylon .5 and any other station anywhere in Earth orbit, I assume.

And eventually .gc for Grover's Corners...

---

Which might lead to a bit of confusion for Canadians, since ".gc.ca" is the Government of Canada suffix. Not saying "don't use it", just pointing out a possible throwaway comedy scene...
