Yes, all of this costs money to setup and maintain. BUT, I do believe that campers are willing to pay for real broadband service, if the option is made available to them.

I too rely on ours heavily. Even at home we live on a mountain, so no cable, no Fios, no dsl. VZ 4g is the only game in town. It's my sole source of internet. I have tried Sat internet and the 4g is cheaper and more reliable. We have Direct TV but I found the dome we have is far less reliable than a 4g has been. 4g does not have line if sight constraints which covers about 80% of east coast I95 as well as most CG's as far as tree cover. We had Sat in a previous MH and I thought it was a waste of $1200.
