In the real world, very few people have that capability.

Do you have a friend/family out of state? Do they have a commodity router? Many have such a feature built in.

Less savvy individuals/business would also have no reason to obey these laws.

		The limitation isn't access to the technology. There is endless OSS, it's probably built into many standard OSes, and there are many available products and projects that will deploy the whole thing for you. The limitation is technical skill, even having enough skill to know that this is a solution.
