satellite is still the only way to get internet in many regions of Australia. This is a major consideration when it comes to how websites are designed if you intend for that audience to be able to access your service. Tiny uplink bandwidth, large amount of latency.
Therefore, for instance, large images aren't as big a problem as many many small images, or transitive dependencies.

- ZenPsycho 7y agomany small transitive dependencies are much worse when request turnaround is up to 1 second. so for an external image loaded from an external CSS file, that's 2 seconds. It's a bandwidth scenario where reducing the number of seperate http requests makes a huge difference.
