In the Maximum PC on broadband, it said satelite was useless unless out in the country... Like Montana or Wyoming or Nunavut (hehe, they dont even have electricity there )

I'm friends with the owners of this company its a wireless transmitter to anywher in the area ( 10 mbit to a car for instance ) it's pretty cool and it's cheap too ( $250 for 1.544 mbit u/d ) but the equipment is expensive $2400..
