Re: Do they now get VOIP?If they're also subscribing to a service like Vonage, I'll give them a call. Anyone know their phone number?
Also, if one of the ISS astronauts is busted for NASA's internet use policy (like no p0rn sites), I would hate to be the first astronaut to be immediately shown the door while still up there. | |

I wonder...since all the internet data gets filtered if they'll get caught surfing for pr0n and where you go for a little "alone time". | |

You know what's 20 miles east of St Cloud?All kinds of farmland where you can put a plane down in an emergency. said by Karl Bode:Now that we've conquered delivering broadband to space, perhaps we can get to work on delivering broadband to places like Minnesota? In the metro area you have Qwest DSL or Centurylink DSL (depending on your location), Comcast HSI, Nextera fixed wireless, and muni wifi run by USInternet. You can get broadband in rural MN the same way they got broadband in space; point a dish at a satellite. | |

It's access to a PC which has access to the internetFrom what I have read, this is not a connection to the internet. They have a VNC type of connection to view/control a PC in Houston, and that PC is connected to the internet.
Not sure how bad latency is when doing such work. Also, they do not have TDRS coverage 7/24, so there are periods where they don't have "live" access to that PC. | |

Re: It's access to a PC which has access to the internetaccording to NASA that is how it is set up. | |

So it's a remote desktop. That's no fun. There goes my idea of calling them on VOIP. | |

Re: It's access to a PC which has access to the internetYou can call them on ham radio. I've spoken to the ISS a couple of times and they also set up scheduled contacts (skeds) with schools. | |

Too bad. If they had true Internet access from the ISS, they could have tested the feasibility of using P2P software to transfer huge amounts of research data quickly and reliably. | |
|

to jfmezei
I hope it's not the VNC. Many others work so much better in a poor bandwidth siltation. I thought they had actual laptops or something though. | |

Yes, this isn't really Broadband to the ISS. The PC at NASA has broadband, but the ISS has a data link to that PC that the story doesn't tell us what the real speed is. | |

The International Space Station Gets Internet Access Hey AT&T U-verse lookie this It stops 3 houses away from my home...
Right now I am not sure who is worse.. AT&T or T/W and their constant rebooting of the Set top boxes saying they have a problem with the DVR's ---- Drat I told I do not have a DVR so why am I getting rebooted.. Cause they can. They want to share the outage evenly

Ummmmm... MN... Really?Karl.. you smoking bong water again or something???
Um... MN actually has pretty damn good coverage compared to MANY places out there.. so, um, yea.. .Why you bringing up MN? How about CT,.. NH.... and others in the NE?
Comcast has HSI service in areas that you wouldn't even think people lived... 20 miles out of town, down unpaved dirt roads, there's peds in the middle of fields.. Qwest is pretty good.. there are microwave services here.. some Fiber farms... and yea.. in many rural areas.. | |

Common...Get rid of the RDP and run some nice fiber to the station via a space tether(elevator). | |

Do they have a webcam?They should leave it on 24/7 so we can watch them:) | |
|

do they....?Maybe they can do live shows for $1 a minute. Space sex can't be had anywhere else but here!!!! Then again other sites could file a lawsuit claiming they have a monopoly on the market. | |
