I am trying to help someone setup a cyber-cafe in an area with poor internet connectivity. GPRS/EDGE is available but is expensive for running a cyber-cafe type of service. Landline/Wimax etc.. dont exist... VSAT is available but is again expensive for 2-way internet access...
I found that the VSAT provider also has a one-way downlink only service, which is quite cheap even for larger bandwidths... (this option is apparently being used for broadcast purposes.......) Would it be possible to setup an internet service that uses GPRS/EDGE for uplink and a one-way VSAT for downlink ? Here GPRS charges apply only for downloads and upload requests are essentially free... ashok
