The offering from Radio Shack / MSN is the same service as Starband, but
they make you buy the complete computer. They don't want to be liable for
computer problems. The Starband Offering uses a USB box, to act as
transmitter and receiver. Goes to a dish that does 2-way communications.
DirectPC - the Hughes satellite offering - had for 2 years offered Sat
Downloads, with a 56K modem for uploads. They are now offering 2-way
communications - with SAT both ways, but are much more restrictive on what
you can use it for.
Hope this helps.
