Who says we need 8 GB per exchange for it to be viable? Seems to me that
even a few megabytes a day would be useful in a lot of places (or a few
kilobytes if you can choose which channels to participate in).

That's an assumption, not a fact. As far as I know there's little reason
to assume that the contact graphs of clandestine political organisations
are routable small worlds, let alone to assume that the combined contact
graph of several diverse organisations is a routable small world.
