Do you live near anyone? Can you get cell phone service? How about 3G?
It'd probably be expensive, but you could band together with other people in your area and start a wireless internet provider. Get a T1, share it out with other people via Motorola Canopy, cap speeds at 512k or 768k so nobody hogs the pipe...expensive to start up? Yes. Better service than satellite could dream of being? By golly, yes.
