Afternoon all,
I need to get mobile internet for data up and downloads on the trip I'm planning in places like Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Moz, etc. This is with the 4x4, so no space issues. And I'm thinking of Satelite based, not cellphone based because I'm not sure how much cell reception I will have and I have to be in constant contact with my office.
I have looked at BGAN, but it seems too expensive ? Even when I rent a terminal, the airtime is $420 for 100mb.
As I'm not too clever with this stuff, any alternative suggestions from those that know ? 
Regards.
