a few small pacific island nation-states that have no submarine cables and are entirely dependent upon geostationary satellite capacity and o3b right now, most likely. this is still satellite but does not go to the "special" country codes for calls to iridium or inmarsat. there's also a few "special" toll-bait destinations in the caribbean which are unusually costly due to the fees charged by their local telco as a revenue source.
