Not that much actually. I was paying this money for a slow telephone modem connection in 90s. Course today we are used to pay almost nothing for the internet. For example, here in Moscow a cost of an unlimited 300 Mbit connection is just 500 rubles a month. It's about
$6 USD. If you pay 1400 rub (about
$19 USD) a month, you receive an unlimited 300 Mbit Internet connection by cable + 2000 minutes of mobile phone talk time for up to 5 clients/numbers + free 3G and 4G mobile Internet traffic + 100+ of IPTV channels + a HDTV receiver/recorder in a free leasing to watch all these channels on your LCD panels. Don't think that developing countries do provide such a wide set of quality digital services for such a low prices.
As you can see, the prices in developing African countries are much higher than even in the USA. They (Africans) already pay up to $200 a month for the Internet access and I don't think their connection speed is as fast as mine...

Is there some specs on dish sizes and the preliminary prices for all the necessary equipment?
