I've tried a few things, but my StarBand satellite Internet access dealership is starting to gain some momentum.

HEY! I used to sell the big 10 foot satellite dishes. I had a lot of HILARIOUS experiences while selling those things and I am planning to write up a big story about it. BTW, that is something else i am planning now---to enter as many story contests as possible.

Fortunately for me, a rural area where households are distributed one per 5, 10 or 20 acre parcel is a virtual guarantee that they'll never see cable tv, much less broad internet access of any kind. The choice is either 21.6 kbps on a good day or StarBand at 500-600 kbps down and 60 kbps up. Once they get past the $700 buy-in, it's $50 a month including the ISP fee and 10 email boxes. Not too shabby.

I just landed a group of 11 people who were rudely rebuffed when they petitioned Verizon to extend DSL to the area. I'll hit critical mass at the 100 installation mark, and I'm halfway there.
