I can't think of many situations where you'd only have internet once every 90 days.

Having worked in broadcast news, I can think of hundreds.

News doesn't happen in the newsroom. It happens in the field. And very often in places without internet access. Sometimes for weeks or months at a time. (Think siege at Waco, plane crashes, hurricanes, etc.)

I work in broadcast news. Specifically in connectivity in the field. I can’t think of any time we’d be without some form of Internet for more than a couple of days, depending how you define China as Internet.

There’s not much point in doing broadcast news of you can’t file, and you can only file if you have an IP connection (we do have some non ip satelite but without IP you wouldn’t be able to do much in the way of production - no production system, no email, no phone)

Covering natural diaaaters is why we have bgans and generators and MREs and water cleaning kits. Internet access is as essential as any other high risk safety equipment, and there’s no point deploying if you can’t file back.

If it's broadcast news, then there's some sort of uplink/downlink involved?

Is there no way to have a sideband of that used to broadcast/multicast am X.509 cert over a 90 day period?
