Re: nice

The service was pretty cool; but the marketing and sales group blew the bankroll. Not to mention Sprint did not put the necessary R&D $ into the project. One outstanding group was the contract employee group that did the installs and service. I think their name was Sat-Tel or something. Wonder if they are still around?

They stopped taking subscribers like 5 years ago. It was available to sign up in the 2001 timeframe. They then locked out new subscribers and are finally killing the service for the 10 people that had service.
Except for the 2005 Sales you may have misssed above...

Given limited Sprint deployment and promotion, I had almost forgotten that the service still existed. Sprint stopped offering the SBBD to new customers back in 2001 during a rough patch, then started taking new subscribers again in 2005.
