The hardware for existing geostationary consumer-grade (cheap, sub $150/month service) Ku and Ka-band VSAT terminals, for use in really remote locations in the USA, is about a $800 to $1200 cost. It's absorbed into 24/36 month contract terms.
People who live in a really remote plate and sign up for a 24 month term for some barely-usable VSAT service are usually disappointed to find out how firmly they're locked into the contract, when somebody builds a WISP in their area.
I would not be surprised if there's a terminal rental charge or 12/24/36 month contract terms offered.
