I have lived in 3 locations in Canada in the last 7 years without internet access or cellphone access. One place I lived in seldom got radio signals, and another you had to climb up the mountain to use the radio phone. Theoretically you could use the internet dial up from the radio phone, but in practice it was about 100 baud with dropouts every minute or so.
You can't, in practicality, use drop box, download books from libraries or stores from these locations, and there are quite a few even places with communications dead zones today in the lower 48 I was told recently.
