Awesome. I need to have good ideas like that. Local incumbent carriers don't bother to wire up remote areas because of the huge capital investment. In the U.S., the incumbents are required to wire remote areas and can subsidize part of the investment by using the Universal Service Fund (USF on your phone bill), but that doesn't exist in all parts of the world. I wonder how they pay for the huge costs of satellite links...possibly by charging for long distance calls?
