How much Wifi setup could you do with even $150K , which is the cost of just getting started (1st stage) with this satellite setup?
Figure a very tall tower for $50K, then smaller 75 foot guyed towers at $5k each. Decent Wifi-band outdoor equipment is less than $1k per end including all wiring. Add a small generator and battery backup (even solar panels) at each location - you are talking far less than 300W (0.3kW) needed to run each tower.
So if you found a number of towns/cities you could serve, you could place the tall tower in the center with the small towers at each town. Now all you need is some form of Internet at the big tower to feed everyone else.
