Internet by satellite in Africa For a certain time, the "buzz Word" is Internet by satellite. The offers of bidirectional connections per satellite take ground with the fall of their prices. The Internet by satellite is yet today only with its whole beginning. The bidirectional offers give the opportunity for the organizations established in Africa to benefit from the high flow without paying the cost of a specific line. While waiting for the arrival of Wimax, technology of network without wire long range, the satellite has the free field to take a lead in the continent. Another element which could play in favour of the satellite is the exit of the materials to mitigate the access time sometimes very long on this type of connection. Despite everything, the prices dropped and the original cost of the equipment will follow and could allow small SME and other small organizations to use Internet by satellite. All will depend on the number of users. If it increases the price then would be also brought to drop. ! It should ausssi be known that the services often vary according to needs': antivirus, firewalls, domain names and the fixed addition of IP, networks VPN or solutions against the bad weather
