A dream for years has been to create a mobile base to work from. Touring the USA and Canada by motorhome while still getting work done no matter where I choose to roam. I've kept an eye on the satellite phone and satellite internet offerings but still haven't found anything that would make me feel confident I could make it work everywhere. (And I don't want to get started on how the FCC screws with developers trying to improve things.)

"Unlimited high-speed internet" via satellite (or cell) is a claim I see made but it's not real for satellite connections yet, and the limitations Linkster mentions are true unfortunately. Even my alternate dream of leaving an island paradise for life in a remote mountain cabin is being hampered/slowed by no good choices for high-speed connections.
