maybe they could use of rfc1149.txt
<https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt> based
service, i'm not sure if they need a carrier license, given regulation
probably, don't know how you'll comply with metadata collection with that
system.  They may need roof permission or an open window. Not sure about
the liability perspective, but i'm assuming a increase in dry cleaning bill
for those traveling between from "overhead loss" or "drops"
