If they get the price right and fast download speeds they might give the Cable ISP's a run for their money. Remember Direct Broadcast Satellite was the technology that stimulated the lethargic, indifferent, Cable Television Industry to introduce Digital Cable Service. Why settle for 55 Channels of crap when you can receive 200 Channels of crap via satellite for the same price.
My brother in law chose Direct TV rather than settle for AT&T Cables poor service in 1998, even though cable tv was included in the homeowners association fee. The guests got AT&T Cable in their bedrooms.
How does that relate to Broadband satellite? did I miss something?
