One word:
Latency
Latency
Latency
(I’m looking to move to WiMAX this summer when my Wildblue contract expires).

Only if these are 22,000 kms orbit geostationary sats. IIRC someone mentioned 175 kms as the orbit... that would have lesser latency than the current Fibre-Optic systems.

Ok, I take that back. 36,000 km distance X 2 will have bad latency.

WiMAX????
Tell me more. Wildblue contract is up this summer. Thought about Alltel’s wireless card for home.
