If "broadband" ever changes from the ludicrous FCC definition of 200kbps, satellite won't even be considered broadband.

No doubt. I have WB now and have had it for over 2 years. It beats the CRAP out of dial up, but would I even try to compare it to my T1's at the office, cable or DSL? No way. Comparing it in that fashion, I would agree that Sat. based access is certainly NOT broadband.... HDMan
