The equipment used to communicate with the satellites is usually heavily regulated. For example in India you can't bring in items that communicate via a Satellite without a permit. In Kenya before they changed the law, VSAT terminals w

I'm actually looking for something like this! No mention of pricing yet, though. Are there plans which aren't per user/truck, such as if we're putting it in our SaaS?

I was thinking the same thing. As I understand it it's possible only to do for subdomains. I suppose one way of doing it is with some kind of script that links up to a prehosted theguardian.com so the cookie is set from where the js is

Not necessarily, the desktop computer needs a speaker & the mobile device needs a mic (which is a better arrangement since the smartphone mics are extraordinarily good). This could then be a means to establish a network connection to it

Stripe is a bit younger, except Pin (which was operating in Australa first though). Pin did mention somewhere that they had a very special partnership with one of the 4 pillar banks that would have been difficult to create.

I was just wondering, to the customer user would this cost more if the foreign currency was used or their local one given the exchange rate is sometimes very good (e.g paying in US dollars instead of the local currency)

Its not only that, a download over HTTP uses less bandwidth than a download over torrent because of the block overhead. It does end up being quite significant. Additionally you don't need to upload anything at all to be able to downloa

I really can't stand bytemobile's implementation. Images aside, they've not implemented websockets in their proxy. You find websockets just failing outright or falling to long polling if that's supported. One way passed
