Obviously this information is only really useful to someone attempting to work out the cost of posting the Internet somewhere
...and this would be useful? Ever?
Crime requires an injured party. Who am I injuring when I'm carrying weed in my pocket? I mean, besides the hurt feelings of some person who believes they can tell me what I can or cannot do with my own person...
...Pr0n. Everybody love Pr0n.
I call that my 'personal project'

D.I. is neither good or bad, it is the illegal or immoral application of the technology that is the problem.
It's a technology that almost no one wants except for those who are in a position to abuse it. That makes it difficult or impossible to view it as a "neutral" thing.

DPI has been used for several years to maintain the integrity and security of networks, searching for signs of protocol non-compliance, viruses, malicious code, SPAM and other threats.

All it would take is the right cables to be cut for the internet to go down. Perhaps with a rented backhoe even.

The North coast, you know the Great Lakes region. There are no large cities along the northern border that are more than 100 miles from the Atlantic or Pacific or Great Lakes (well perhaps Minneapolis, but it's close at 150 miles according to Google maps).
Define a 'large city'. As it stands you are leaving out whole STATES in your 100 miles! (Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and more)
Chicago, IL --> St. Louis MO ~300mi (closest ocean/great lake)
