You should explore both approaches, but expect that individuals that
haven't run an exit before - but are willing to do so - could require
more support.

I could imagine that interested people would be concerned about abuse
complaints. Finding an reasonable ISP is another problem. I'm quite
confident that the Tor community would assist, but don't know how it
could be organized.

I wonder what would happen when Tor had "official abuse devisions",
where some people care about the abuse complaints the Tor network
"produces". Compared to "TelcoUK" and "TelcoUS" where each "Telco"
reacts to abuse complaints. Could that make Tor a telecommunications
service?


Everything else has mostly said, I guess.
