Etherium could allow only some nodes to act as full nodes. These full nodes can then serve as hubs for thousands of smaller clients with only parts of the block-chain. Which parts of the blockchain are where within these minor nodes, is coordinated by the system to ensure maximum availability to all nodes of the block-chain, facilitating the needs of all the minor nodes. Take a look at the CODA File System, and see if this approach could have any merit.

Taking your comment entirely differently, it looks like an entire new paradigm posing as 'just a little thing we could do with Ethereum'. Read a bit about the Coda thing, dont see what to take from that though..(we cant have trusted servers)
