| Satellite This sounds awesome, but how many people can be on it before the pipe starts to sputter? but like someone mentioned earlier, i wouldn't doubt they would put caps on there and i wouldn't doubt they'd traffic shape or filter it. |

WINDS (Wideband Inter-Networking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite ) is a testbed for several newer technologies.

while it will be tested in remote parts of japan, it will also cover many countries in the southeast asian hemishere, palces that don't have and are unlikely to get broadband coverage any other way any time soon.
It is mostly intended to serve gov't and business interests due to the high cost. ($490 million US for a 5 year lifespan) |
