What if you combined dial-up with satellite? A large portion of everything done online is better done by dial-up. Pings are better, loading anything small like text is better. On the other hand, loading or downloading anything large is better with satellite.
Because the satellite and the dial-up work together, there would be no need for two phone lines. If a call happened, the satellite could still access the internet (alternatively, all phone calls could be handled through VoIP).
The two types of internet compliment one other... you could say they make up for each others weaknesses. The expense would be roughly identical (it doesn't get cheaper than dial-up). And, technologically speaking, all it would take to build and deploy is a new modem. They could even be mailed to people... everyone can plug in a few wires.
So my question is, why not?
