Some Godforsaken Isle

This is year ██17, how can there still be places on Earth without Wifi signal? Are my expectations too high, or is this island actually some kind of godforsaken hellhole? When we first arrived, before we could install the monitoring equipment, before we could write out a work schedule, we first had to run some goddamned network cables through this place! I mean, come on! We're Rosetta researchers, and they've got us wasting our time with a bunch of modems and routers. What about the construction team that was here before us?! Did they spend all their time lying on the beach drinking chicha, or what?
