I used to work for a satellite broadband provider.  If you use satellite
one way and phone the other, it is bearable, but obviously you won't be
able to serve anything.  If you opt for satellite both ways then latency
is *horrid*.  It makes ssh, for example, really painful to use.

Could you use packet radio (don't know the bandwidth achievable), or a
point-to-point terrestrial microwave link?
