That's really common is some countries with limited or restricted internet access.
There was also a company trying to deploy a series of satellites to provide persistent, free (but low bandwidth) access to a small cross-section of the internet, with a focus on education and information. I wish I could remember that company's name.

- peterburkimsher 9y agoInstead of satellites, why not keep a cache in the 3G base station? Load times would be much faster, and the infrastructure is all there already. There might be some copyright issues for Google Maps tiles, but I wonder if the range is small enough to be within fair use.
