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?

Depends on the country. I suspect in the USA, it's close to 100% land-based. In places in central Africa, it's probably close to 100% satellite based.
