Nope, that won't work.

Satellite communications are only used on thin streams, i.e., low traffic
routes.  For example, there are no satellite circuits to the UK or to New
Zealand.  Thick routes are all submarine cable.  In fact, over 98% of
Australian international telecoms are on submarine cable.  I used to work in
that field as the Marine Manager for Telstra (now Reach Global Networks -
see http://www.reach.com/en/global/cable_sat.php) responsible for
maintenance of the international submarine cables (by the use of cable
ships - see http://www.iscpc.org/information/ships.htm - for Australian
cables, we used the CS Pacific Guardian, the CS Asean Restorer, and the CS
Cable Retriever  )  If you wondered how we repaired them, see
