Re: Satellite Broadband?

The only problem with that is the vast majority of rural communities do NOT have EVDO or 3G service yet. They are rural, after all.

Honestly, if you live in a rural area but have access to cell towers, I would go for sprint's evdo. Obviously, cell towers are much easier to construct than laying fiber through mountains and such. Hence, the likelihood that one can get a connection using this entity is better. If this were the case, EVDO offers unlimited data usage and speeds ranging from 1mbit / 128 (using your phone with cord). to 3mbits / 768 using a data card. Not too bad if someone has few options. The only drawback of course, is ping, but from my experience using this service on the road, I obtain around 200-300 ms. Nothing that horrible at least.
