In cases where Internet is service extremely expensive and difficult to provide broadband, satellite service can be a great solution. You use the hard wire connection to make the request (upstream) and download from the satellite. Since it's expensive to transmit a signal and the amount people upload can be minimal for most requests, the hard line works great. Then, it's relatively cheap to receive the response with the satellite, which is usually a large payload that would benefit tremendously from the broadband connection.
