Thinking about it further, I could see a very complex and lucrative business ecosystem emerging from a system like that in the private sector. Particularly considering how the storage space aboard ships would be a limited and valuable commodity. Service providers buy and sell it to various parties - individual people, companies, politicians, you name it. Companies would compete to have their ads sent to as many systems as possible. Ship owners would aim to maximize storage space on their ships to profit more. There might even be automated ships that are essentially huge hard drives - data freighters? - regularly zipping between systems.
