...much. Hale, 27, runs a racist hate group he grandly named the World Church of the Creator. But even as one of the largest such organizations in the nation, WCOTC has at most a few thousand dues-paying $35-a-year members, many of whom were recruited on the Internet and have never so much as gathered in a beer hall. The group's headquarters is Hale's bedroom in his dad's house in East Peoria, Ill. It measures members' success by the number of racist leaflets they can distribute in a month, which is absurd to those...

But authorities believe violence motivated by hate is increasing, in part because hate groups now wield powerful new tools, including the Internet and the arts of media management, to attract a different breed of racist.

And the competition has come in droves ? companies like Ellipso, Vodafone and Teledesic (which wants to up the ante with an Internet-in-the-sky), arriving late, have benefited from improved technology and learned from Iridium?s mistakes. Meanwhile, the first star in the sky could well be the first to get shaken out when the industry matures. Even oil-rig workers may want something they can use in the bathroom...
