You should view this as an incredible money-making opportunity: they've created an artificial shortage for online access, so exploit it:
- go to radio shack/fry's/wherever to get your satellite broadband hook-up equipment. It doesn't matter if the equipment costs you $5000-- you'll make it back.
- Set up Internet access in your cabin
- Charge the other students $10/10 minutes. Bonus points if you can get 2-3 terminals working over your sat connection. You'll probably be billing out a solid 3 hours/night = $180/day * 90 days = $16,200.
- Profit!!!
You're welcome.
