I would say that the importance and need for reliable two-way satellite IP data as a backup for essential comms (wheter geostationary based, iridium, inmarsat, and soon starlink) is directly proportional to how bad the political situation is in a country.

Somewhere with an active civil war such as Yemen or Ethiopia, would rank towards the highest end of the scale.

That's great until you get flagged by an EW platform and hit by a missile for transmitting to satellites :/

Indeed and it would be great to be able to crowdfund that bandwidth for people experiencing such blackouts.
