Yahclick for VoIP - behind mountain?

[Dutchuncle777]

VoIP via satellite such as Yahclick could be the answer to the rural problem of stolen copper and nonexistent GSM.

What if the user site is behind a mountain or in a deep valley? Think of the Koo at Montagu, Cederberg farmers, small farms behind Simon's Town moumtains? Isn't line of site required for bi-directional comms? Check Plateau Rd on Google Eart to see what I mean.

Hi There,
Line of sight is going to be needed for this to work effectively.

The elevation for Yahclick is in the region of 45 degrees, so you would have to be pretty well dug in not to be able to see the satellite.
