Mary, before this thread gets too far gone .... I researched gettin a satellite connection several years ago. I also had a friend at the time (Carolinas, USA) that got one. His involved about $700 worth of equipment, and a separate dial up(land line) connection for the uplink. It was also very fee expensive.
This would be a 2-way thing. Down and up-link through satellite
As to rain, yes, satellite will be subject to interruption as t-storms pass over obscuring the path to the satellite. Are you sure they're not planning wifi service? Seems that would make more sense.
Sure. For that they would need at least one good phone line but the village is 22km from the nearest civilized line
Maryse
