There are cheaper, non-geostationary satellites. See <www.InformaticsDevelopmentInstitute.net/welcome.html> The Informatics Development Institute (IDI) is a not-for-profit company, established in Ireland, with the mission of furthering the global development of both information and communications technologies, and researching their socio-economic impact. Our continuing interest lies in the provision of cost-effective communications for remote regions of developing countries. Our FP6 project proposal was not accepted as it was deemed to be development rather than research, so we are still looking for partners to move this forward. Steven, I'll email you a document separately.
