Here were I live in South Africa we have probably the most expensive broadband internet in the world. This mainly because there are only two licensed telecommunications providers whom have access to the only two international internet links from here.
We already have a Wireless User Group, a free community based wireless network in some of the major cities. http://www.wug.za.net/ http://www.wug.za.net/
My first thought when I read this was if it would be possible to create a private satellite internet connection to the rest of the world.
Without knowing the technical details, I would guess that this is probably not feasible though. Although it would be pretty cool!
