10-15 years is 2009/10 - 2013/14, not 2003.

In 2009 there was such a provider (talking about Moscow region in Russia) as Skylink, which gave good connectivity in rural areas and Skype traffic was unlimited (I'm not making it up). It was good enough for Skype voice calls.

Third world country is might as well a crazy rural region, yes.
