Why do you say that satellite internet is not mission-critical reliable? It is what 90% of the military communications use.
Of course if it fails, then there is always HF but should satellite internet fail, then the roll of HF will not be used in its traditional roll...it would be more used for liaison between first responders.

Satellite internet is not mission-critical reliable.
It could be disasterously foolish to design a solitary
dependency on such a non-redundant system, same as the
prior foolishness of "we have cell phones, we don't
need Ham radio".
This is not to say that ill-informed decisionmakers
brainwashed by high priced salesmen won't repeat the
errors of the past.
Does it occur to anyone as a lesson to be learned
that dependency on sensitive technologies like satellite
phones, cellphones, and complex Motorola/Ericsson/etc
systems which are typically first to fail and slow to
restore?
