I notice that these satellite dishes are aimed almost down at the horizon; back home they are still pointed more or less at the sky. That's part of what makes internet access so difficult up here - every form of telecommunication goes through these things, and the signal is going sideways through the atmosphere for many miles before it emerges. So if it's cloudy, or otherwise atmospherically challenged, all that interference gets extra time to work on your signal and mess it up.
These particular dishes are at 72 degrees north. Beyond 81 degrees north your satellite dish has to be pointed below the horizon. Which doesn't work at all.
That means that Santa Claus can't receive emails, which explains why he is the last guy on the planet to still get regular mail addressed to him. He can't get satellite TV or Netflix either. This year I'm switching, no more leaving out cookies and milk. Santa needs DVDs!
