Its been unprofitable to provide services to these areas up til now. I think the point you are missing is that SAS can provide such a low cost system that it changes the game.

I have had experience with people in northern Africa. Particularly Kenya Uganda and Tanzania. These people are crying out for these services. Its not uncommon for people in regional areas to walk for a couple of hours to bigger villages to pay a small fee to someone who has a phone to make calls. In the bigger cities basically everyone has a mobile phone. Connecting the rest of these countries with phone and text services has huge potential alone. Plus the IoT applications.
