2-way satellite "high speed" internet access.
Anyone with experience with these systems? Hidden costs?
Looks like a good $99 month solution - if it works.
Less than that, actually. Around here, lots of gas stations
use it to connect to their HQ. Perhaps they get discounts.
I do not have experience, but there are some obvious gotchas.
First, you must have USB, and you must have Windows (2K or XP).
Second, interactive traffic is a pain in the ass because
of the delay, so gaming is out. Neither are fatal for FBO
or a gas station, I suppose.
