I want to share with all. I was President of this organization 20 years back. In those time we were dealing wirh affordable access, education and support of NGOs under a Federal Government Grant and other donations. 

Now access is mainly by mobile phone with prepaid cards being less expensive than monthly subscriptions. Now the focus is on programs to help the community, youth actions etc. 

We continued with telephone dial up for decades. Still a viable option for community based work. Satellite has ofcourse now made universal access an opportunity ans how we cost manage thar for All is what is critical. Happy to support initiatives with brain storming on costs. Plezee connect with me via DC DDHT. I am a professional accountant and have worked in Govt and private sector pricing. DDHT wants access for All for ehealth. 

Thanks for listening!
