Try using proven technology, IMMARSAT.
Buy the small briefcase phone equipment. It comes with a modem jack. Get a
subscription to the service. Connect your laptop and dial in. I have done
this from as far north as Little Diomede and Nome. The satelite is over the
state of Ten., I think, which makes it a very low shot on the horizon. If
you make your shot from on top of, or a south facing slope, of a mountain
like Denali, then that shouldn't be an issue.
If Internet or a connection is important enough, you will pay:)
