The biggest problem with Satellite IP
networks is rather high latency.
The last time I tried a test ping times
ran into the 1500+ msec range.
Thats 1.5 Seconds.
So that might work for background file
transfers, e-mail SMTP traffic, etc. but nothing
with human interaction.
I'm told that
Netmeeting is more suitable than VPN for satellite
connections

Satellite is terrible. Only if there is absolutely positively no

Have a friend who has been for 1 year, and it works great for browsing.
Has bad latency, because of the satellite connection, but gets DSL speeds
with NO phone line, and no distance limitations.

Here's some info, albeit dated: http://www.e-businessworld.com/english/crd_satellite_454142
Only thing that I

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
