Connecting with real-time video can requires as little
as 300 kilobits
each (per) second (300 kbps or 300 kb/s or 0.3 Mb/s). Real-time audio
requires less (as low as 14 kilobits each second).
This would mean that if they have 500 Mb/s connection, it would be more

Other solutions are setting up community copper-cable or fiber-optic
networks. These are very reliable and can be another solution. Each
community can connect with another and by that way everyone is
connected. This network can even be connected to the main global
network if you want global connectivity for all.
Amali: Just imagine a giant network of water carrying ducts. It might
be something useful, if it helps uncover the possibilities.
