2-way satellite internet is available, but aiming is tricky.  Several
companies offer this service.  Latency is terrible compared to any land
based method.

You can also buy satellite phones which require little to no aiming, but
the data rate is slow (14.4kbps for many).

You can also, if you have lots of money, get a T1 satellite connection,
but it requires a big dish and the latency is still bad.
