Malaysian telco operator Maju Nusa recently inked a deal with satellite network operator O3b Networks to provide 3G services for rural areas.
How does it work? Basically, O3b will provide satellite backhaul for all the 3G base stations that are dotted around the rural areas in Malaysia. This is great because normal telco operators have little incentive to set up backhaul links over long distances (and through difficult terrain like jungles) just to cover a few villages. With satellite, you can just set up a few base stations and let them all connect to the RNC/core via the satellite network.
This could be the start to provide communication and fast broadband in hard to reach areas!
