When I was working with Svalbard, Internet connectivity was through a satellite link at about 2.5 degrees elevation looking through a notch in the mountains. I don't think it has changed
It has, as Steinar says. For those interested in the necessary elevation at 78 degrees north, I found a nice picture of the antennas here: http://www.mydarc.de/la0by/isfjord.jpg There aren't any mountains in front of the the antennas. However there is a mountain between Isfjord Radio and Longyearbyen (the main settlement), requiring a relay station on the radio link between these. Bjørn
