I just had a client drop an interesting requirement on me.

They are on Andros Island (Bahamas) for about a year.  I'm working on
getting an exact address from the adminisphere above me, but all I've been
told so far is they are 'near the naval base'.

They just called and said "We need internet access yesterday".

None of the people on-site are technical, and all their data is accessed
via RDP on a server in the United States.

Having never been there, I have no idea if it's like downtown San Francisco
where the internet grows on trees, or if it's like the Sahara desert which
might require dragging your own fiber in on camelback...

Does anyone have pointers on who to talk to or how I can get them internet
access?
