Starlink/Kuiper and the geostationary satellites are an alternative. Not perfect... but far better than *nothing*

Only when (if) Stalink removes the need for base stations and just sends the traffic directly between satellites.
You still need the Starlink coverage to be enabled on system level, and the local government to care enough to track down Starlink users at the same time. I can't imagine that there are many countries that meet both criteria.
