Does he have cell phone service at his home? He could purchase a fixed wireless terminal and use the cell phone network to connect to the internet.
Granted this won't be as quick as broadband, but it can reach speeds around 200kbps with a GSM/Edge based cell network, it's doubtful that he has 3G in his area yet.
Then all he would have to do is get a SIM chip and pay the cell phone company for a plan that includes unlimited data transfers.
