Internet Connections can be sent using peer-to-peer Ham Radio links

**The only prerequisites are: **

(1) a ham radio license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (requirements have been greatly relaxed compared to the old days): http://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed

(2) a knowledge of computer networking (or a network-savvy friend who will work for pizza and SBDs ;)

Since a ham license is issued by the FCC, it should theoretically override state laws. If the internet ever breaks down, being able to access information using radio links could be a lifesaver.
