[wplug] internet access via satellite phone

[John Harrold]

While this might not be linux specific, I was wondering if anyone had heard
of internet access that could be provided to remote areas. Not necessarily
for browsing the web and stuff. I'm thinking you're out of cell phone
range, so you use a satellite phone to get internet access, download/send
your email and break off the connection. Where the primary interest is to
transfer email.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
