Yes. Just like any Internet connection, anywhere.
The official place where my ISP provides my service is 14 miles from my=20
house, and I use microwave between the two. Some of the things that are=20
on that same port are 50 miles in the opposite direction. With a=20
satellite uplink, I could make that anywhere in about 1/3rd of the=20
earth. When I travel, my IPSEC VPN extends that port to anywhere in the=20
world.
