Just wondered if any one had read about this or maybe has some better details.

NetSat, from Wholesale-Telecom, is now offering free tier one tech support for it's one-way high speed satellite internet. "Triple Play" services, TV, phone, and internet, will be coming soon at the end of this summer for underserved areas where DSL and cable don't reach.

Littleton, CO (PRWEB) June 5, 2005 -- Free tech support is now offered with our satellite internet service. Subscribers get right in to a technician to troubleshoot any internet issues they may have. The download speeds are consistently 512 Kbps, 800Kbps, and 1.5Mgs speeds, depending on which package you get. The service can be used anywhere in the Americas (North or South) as long as you have a clear view of the southern sky and use Windows PC as your operating system. Later this year we will be offering programming to subscribers. The Alpha test is scheduled to begin in July with the roll out probably in Q3 or Q4. We have already partnered with several Telcos for the Alpha test. We will be offering a full television programming service that will rival Dish and DirecTV. The difference will be that our offering will be "a la carte", on-demand programming. People will only pay for the channels or programs that they want. They won't be forced to select a "package deal" of 100 or so channels when they only want to watch 8 or 10 of them. More details will be sent out as agreements are put into place.

NetSat's service has also been proven to work with Cisco and Microsoft VPN software, for business applications. Equipment costs with two-way are between $500 and $600 and monthly charges $60-$100.

One-way satellite service can offer consistent broadband speeds at a reasonable price, comparable to DSL and cable, to underserved areas. Equipment costs for one-way are very reasonable compared to two-way. Now NetSat can get underserved customers high speed internet access that they can afford. NetSat also offers satellite phones through Globalstar and residential/business VOIP services.

Wholesale-Telecom's mission statement is to sell you what you need not what we have. We have a sincere commitment to help our customers to manage their telecom needs from finding the best fit up, to committed support after the service is up and working. We want to give customers their time back to improve their business by letting us do all the leg work in interviewing carriers and leveraging them against each other to come up with the best price. We want to make the entire process of ordering telecom products and services as easy as possible, at no cost to the customer.

have not heard about it, but it sounds promising for the people who can't get dsl or cable. i would also like to pick what channels i want instead of buying in a package deal.

Being a BUD user the a la cart really rings home as long as they have everything I want .

i am hoping verizon fios tv will have individual channels instead of packages, but i highly doubt it.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Can't remember where or who I saw predict this. :D

It wouldn't surprise me to see Elon soon own all of DISH / Echostar in the future.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

I know he wants TV. He wants to deliver EVERYTHING to EVERYWHERE.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

Is Dish like Iran in one way...they both will totally collapse by end of week :)
Foxbat
Other than the price, my experience with Boost is not that different than what I experienced with my years with Cricket. I will be curious to see what happens if SpaceX takes the reins.

Hate to say this no one is ordering Satellite TV. Both DISH and Direct no new customers.
After 25 years with centurylink DSL 80 speed i changed to Xfinity 300 speed for $50 wow lightning fast for streaming. Still have DISH 27 years with them. Americas 250 package for $103. What you think of superbox or vseebox for streaming is it legal?
Still dish is easy to operate and change channels. What will Charlie Ergen do with new super satellites with loosing customers with satellites and boost?

Rodney Dangerfield is great. One of his best one liners - "My wife likes to talk to me during sex, last night she called me from Florida!"

Jackie Gleason is another one of the greats.
