2-build a satellite at least in either nome ak, or Fairbanks Ak.
How do you think my idea's are?
Regarding suggestion 2. Do you mean coverage for those areas or actually building one of their future satellites in one of those cities? Do they have an aerospace industry in those cities? It's a serious question, as I don't know. I do see they're doing something regarding LEO satellites at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
No, i mean a sattelite in alaska to make more speeds in this rural area i live in, and i meant to make alaska speeds faster to build a sattelite near where i live which is a rural area.

Ah, okay. Unfortunately, all geostationary satellites have to reside about 22,300 miles directly above the equator, and combining that with Alaska being so far west of the rest of the country (except for Hawaii), and being sparsely populated, as a whole, offering coverage like that which exists in the lower 48 becomes more difficult.
And Savoonga? WOW. You're WAY out there. Talk about isolation. Don't get me wrong, I bet it's a dream when it comes to things like loving nature and being away from all of the hustle and bustle of the more populated areas, but, of course, it makes it that much harder to be able to get the "latest and greatest" service. :(
Savoonga. It's pretty neat conversing with someone so far away and in an area where you'd normally think you couldn't (or at least I couldn't from here, anyway). I mean, don't get me wrong, I know it 2018 and not 1918, but still, with Savoonga being so far out there and isolated it's pretty neat, or at least it is to me. :)
