Having a regulatory environment that mandates on and only one IDG
(Intl Data Gateway)=Very Bad

Having a regulatory environment that mandates on and only one IDG AND
having that IDG licensee be single homed= VERY VERY Bad.

10k USD for VSAT kit and 2 engineers could see 100MBps landed there in

The only drawback is that it seems to be illegal in Djibouti.
