The early satellite internet systems were download only, and required a dialup modem (or other link, but if you had access to better than dialup, you wouldn't need satellite) for the uplink. Wild Blue is one of several two way satellite internet service providers. US regulations require two way satellite communications systems to be installed by licensed/certified personnel. The slightest bit off angle can have the uplink beam missing the satellite or hitting the wrong one which could cause interference. The Hughes service has been bounced around many owners or names, at one time it was wholly owned by DirecTV as DirecPC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
