I have send a proposal to a radio station that talks about this affair,
to ask either Polish GSM Plus operator or Onet (both are offering
combined GPRS/SAT connection) to fund such connection. This would be
affordable for the village, (as opposed to ex VSAT link), and should be
enough for WWW, e-mail, news... but not VoIP ;( ;(
