Satelite Internet

Thinking about how to allow our African friends in the Humanist Movement to join us for a day-long (virtual)meeting. The internet cafes don’t like letting anyone have more than an hour, two is really pushing it. What if we were to open our own cafe and then close it to those not in our meetings when we’re having one? How would we get connectivity in Liberia? This map seems to indicate that we can get satelite internet coverage, but I have no idea if this is a bank-breaker to try to set something like this up. Anyone know anything about this?

  1. If you want prices for the two-way satellite dish equipment and for the monthly bandwidth try sending an email to info@link-sat.net The rest of their web site at http://www.link-sat.net/ provides further information. Monthly prices vary significantly. Dedicated bandwidth capacity suitable for internet cafes and VoIP phone calls is more expensive than shared capacity suited to a few PCs used for moderate web browsing and emails.
    Best regards, Eric
