Lauch of ViaSat-1

Has anyone seen this information and have any further information. From what I can see it will launch about March 2011 for North America. The European version I believe late this year. This looks promising. Wondering about costs and if this would eliminate the FAP or push it way up.

Don't get your hopes up, it's really not much more than additional coverage for Wildblue's currently sold out areas. I don't expect much of a change from the current price structure. If there's any change at all, increased throughput speeds would likely be offset by higher FAP thresholds. Conversely, lower FAP thresholds would likely come at the expense of throughput speed
