(February 24, 2023 at 8:38 am)Anomalocaris Wrote: You need satellite internet, not just satellite phone.    Something like HugesNet or Star link,   The data plans very broadly go for around $1-5/GB, With savings for plans with larger amount of GB per month.   Down load speed for hugesnet is low compared to most land service, but installation and hardware is free.     Not sure how long the plans go for.      Download speed for Elon Musk’s star link is higher, closer to 4G cellular,  but you pay a substantial amount for the terminals up front.   And Star link service is not available over wide swath of the lower 48.

I'm not sure, but I think those satellite internet services use phone service for their uplink.
