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 depends on where in some cases. Take Greenland for example. Prior
to Tele Greenland possibly completing the Greenland Connect cable[1]
real soon now (Halifax to Nuuk, Nuuk to Iceland, branched to
Qaqortoq, with xcon to UK and Denmark) I seem to recall that a large
amount of their capacity was via satellite from Godthab(Nuuk) to
Denmark.
In this case, you're likely talking 100%. Almost all of your remote
cases are going to be in a similiar situation ie. Svarlsbad, most
stuff above t~N60^ parallel (or so) etc.

Subject: Estimate of satellite vs. Land-based traffic
All,
Participting in a severe solar event EXERCISE. Can anyone give me an
educated guesstimate of the percentage of backbone traffic that is
satellite dependent vs. that which is totally land-based?
Thanks
