Online Education With Fast Broadband Internet

Friday, November 12th, 2010

I was reading through some testimonials the other day when I came across an individual expressing his gratitude to WildBlue for enabling him to have access to his online classes. Now, I know we have talked about online degrees before, but I felt compelled to bring it up again after reading this testimonial. I can relate to people taking online classes and even getting online degrees as I have several friends getting their entire degree online, and I have even taken some online classes in the past. I just thought about how difficult this would be without access to high-speed internet service. I live in a rural area myself and went to a fairly small high school, that actually required me to take one of my classes via correspondence because the class was not offered at the school. This was back when dial-up internet was the only option. I had to snail mail all of the class work to the teacher, and the course material was sent to me on a CD. When I read that testimonial I kept thinking about how awful it would be to have to go back to that.

Fast Internet In The Country

Fast High-Speed Internet In The Country

If you have been looking for fast internet in the country because you currently only have an option of dial up this is the article you need to read. Most of us would be surprised of the number of people that still do not have access to broadband speed via DSL or cable. As a matter of fact I read somewhere that as high as 30% of rural citizens still use dial up internet. I actually know of several fairly large businesses that are located in rural areas that do not have access to high-speed internet. Many of these businesses cater to the wild game hunting industry in our area.

Update On WildBlue Optimizer Testing

Friday, November 5th, 2010

I finally ran the WildBlue Optimizer on my test drive. I will admit to a small amount of hesitation as I have my operating system running very nicely and I have an aversion to looking a gift horse or operating system in the mouth.

After I reminded myself that I was “Beta Testing” I jumped right in and ran the WildBlue Optimizer. It installed flawlessly. It placed the Portal, Help and WB Mail icons on the desktop and made the other changes listed in the “Read Me” file.

The Latest News With Fast Rural Internet

Monday, October 25th, 2010

If you’re like me, I wouldn’t be suprised if you were tired of having your news filtered by media conglomerates and their sponsers to promote a particular agenda that’s not nessacarly your own. Well just when you’ve lost hope in all televised media coverage, high speed internet steps in to the rescue. With high speed internet you can browse millions of different “alternative media” sources, which are usually more accurate anyway, to verify or dig deeper into a report you may have seen on TV. This comes as a breath of fresh, non-polluted air, in a media realm sought for and mainly owned by the sponsers who advertise on their stations. This means the big networks such as FOX, NBC, and ABC have a strict protocol they must adhere to, which includes only reporting “approved” material and the bloggers, truth seekers, among with the countless internet journalists can more or less tell it like it is and, in my opinion, like it should be, raw.

Yoga With High-Speed Internet

Friday, September 10th, 2010

Everyday, more and more people in the west are discovering the benefits of the Eastern breathing, meditating and stretching exercises called yoga. Now, I find it highly unlikely that someone from Asia came to America to spread the gospel of yoga to those who would care to listen here in the United States, but rather (and I don’t think anyone knows for sure how the practice came to the U.S.) it seems more likely that a westerner, wandering through the beautiful lands of the eastern hemisphere, came upon it one way or another and brought back with them the sacred knowledge of having complete, conscience control of the human body through breathing and stretching exercises.

Satellite Internet Service In Africa

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

The availability of high-speed internet service throughout parts of rural Africa seems to be scarce. Satellite Internet is not as readily available in countries throughout Africa as it is in other places throughout the world. This is largely due to the fact that Africa is fragmented into many small national markets and has a minimal economy of scale. Low income levels also factor in to the harsh market conditions. Since there is not an expansive market in Africa, and the market that is there is so spread out that the satellite solutions that are available are often several times more expensive than even the services throughout Europe in North America. This obviously does not sit well with the extremely low-income population. However, it seems that relief may be on the way through the utilization of new satellite technology.

Affordable, Back Up Internet

Monday, August 16th, 2010

More than any other time in the history of the internet, staying up and running without any downtime is crucial. When companies have their internet access go down, they lose thousands and thousands of dollars every hour or every day. Our society has become so reliant on the World Wide Web, without it, we would be in big trouble. The internet keeps businesses connected with vendors, suppliers, competitors, market information, employees, and so on, meaning without it business would die!

Government Funding for Satellite Internet

Monday, July 19th, 2010

We are all aware of President Obama’s highly publicized $787 billion economic stimulus plan. Vice President Biden announced last December as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that approximately $2 billion in grants and loans of this act will be aimed specifically at bringing broadband internet services to communities that up until now have been forced to do without because of lack of availability. President Obama announced just this past week $795 million in Internet projects, saying that these projects would affect more than 685,000 businesses, 900 healthcare facilities, and 2,400 schools. The President was also confident that that these projects would lead to hundreds of thousands of new jobs. We know from previous reports that some of the government funding from the rural development package has already gone to the satellite internet industry in the form of grants to help develop better technologies to provide more high-speed internet access to rural citizens. It is most likely that a good portion of the available funding mentioned last week by President Obama will also go toward the further development of satellite internet technologies. Another option would be to provide subsidies to rural citizens in a certain income bracket that has no other access to broadband internet other than satellite internet. Many of the new developing technologies mentioned in previous posts will be a direct solution to providing more rural areas with high-speed internet access. Any government funding that could be made available to the satellite internet industry would only speed the development and implementation process up and allow customers to get internet access faster. It only makes sense that the satellite internet industry would be the best place to spend the majority of this funding because of the exponential impact it could have. Any developments that are made with DSL, cable, or even fiber optics can only be applied to the immediate area in which the developments took place. Any improvements made to satellite internet will benefit the entire United States network.
