How could any local entity (govt. or otherwise) do this using satellite?
The cost of launching a satellite is too high. Aren't the existing
staellite Internet services (DirecWay -- is there any other?) slow and
expensive, and require a large outlay up front for equipment?

Easy, they (local entity) won't have to.

Sure, there's DirecWay, then there's Starband, and soon there will be
a third player, WildBlue.
