They simplified the explanation a bit too much in some places and lost details in the process.
I think this is the kind of connectivity that works in places with no other connection, like a village on top of a mountain, an area with long term power outage, places where internet is censored, etc. Some of these cases come with a risk to the courier. The couriers could be for example the regular buses connecting that place to a hub with internet connection. The equipment on the bus "caches" your requests or replies, takes them to the connection hub where it picks up whatever comes back.

Please let me know if there's anything else that we could improve, besides the questions raised to the comment by Vampiero that you're replying to. > I think this is the kind of connectivity that works in places with no other connection, like a village on top of a mountain, an area with long term power outage, places where internet is censored, etc Indeed. It could work in those cases, but my priority are regions disconnected to the Internet due to government orders or a foreign adversary.
