- walrus01 9y agoYes, but same general idea. It's 100GB, not 100Gb. Compared to terrestrial based networks it's not much - very easy to do far more than 100GB/mo with a land based WISP that offers last mile connections of 15 Mbps down x 6 Mbps up. The oversubscription for consumer grade VSAT services is an economic necessity, based on the fact that with current technology and launch costs, it's a $150 to $200 million project to build and launch a new 5000-6000 kilogram high powered satellite into geostationary orbit. It will have an estimated 15 year usable lifespan. viasat-2 weighs 6400 kg: http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/viasat-2.htm http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/viasat-2.htm
