Subject:Re: How About Satellite Internet?

Personally I'd go cellular, much less equipment and lower latency over
satellite.  The trick with satellite is you have a relatively large amount
of relay time from ground to sky and back for the request to get to the
destination, and the same for the return trip with the response.  I'd expect
cost will be the same for the Verizon EVDO service, and it works over a
pretty wide area.  The only exception would be if you are going to truly
remote places, then satellite is your only choice.
