• satellite coverage in certain areas of the world can be quite expensive, it's not like Dish network back in the states. We pay tens of thousands of dollars per month for fractional T1 access at various sites in Iraq. The satellite footprint for internet just may not be there, depending on where you set up shop- the empty ocean has not been a huge target market for satellite content providers so far.

It all depends on where you put the seastead. In the meditteranean (which would be a likely place, considering the good amount of trade possible with european / north african countries) I think you would probably get coverage in most places due again to the surrounding well developed countries.
