Re: ViaSat-1: Transforming Satellite Broadband

said by zalternate:

but it seems...same service as the current method of the Anik F2, with the usual WildBlue and Xplornet reselling the service.
Based upon previous news releases, and ViaSat's info...yes, one could conclude very positively that Wildblue/Telesat will share a new bird, located in a different orbital slot.

However, I would not know if a larger dish would be used or not for improved performance. But, Telesat's resellers do have access to this larger dish for those needing it. My hunch would be that a larger dish would be better, technically speaking.

I have no idea if those bird launch tables show what's happening in 2011, but knowing this would confirm the time era for service.

Wildblue has suggested 18mbps service, but I'll bet this is "slowed down" to 10 mbps.

Considering this bird's total bandwidth is much higher, I would not expect the rates to be too much higher.

Hmmm...where do I sign up for the Beta trials
