‘Live Free Or Die’ But Don’t Go Anywhere Without Satellite Internet

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

New Hampshire And Rural Satellite InternetThe people of New Hampshire mean business as you can tell from their state motto, ‘Live Free or Die’! Since their efforts to free our country were successful we thankfully appreciate their part in the American Revolution and what they have given us since then in the way of technology and tourism. Check out a few tourist spots listed below.

New Hampshire’s covered bridges number in the hundreds with some dating back over a century. Most have been replaced over the years due to flood or fire damage but, old or new, they are a wonder to behold. Instead of emailing a neighbor with your rural high speed satellite internet service you would saddle up a horse and use one of these bridges to cross whatever river or brook came between you and the other side.

Microsoft Beta Testing With WildBlue

WildBlue Internet Testing

I have been beta testing for Microsoft since Windows 98 and it has been a very worthwhile endeavor. However, this is my first experience doing beta testing while being connected to WildBlue Satellite Internet. This added a whole new dimension to the testing process because I wanted to test the stability and compatibility of Microsoft’s beta releases.

I am very happy to report that the switch over was seamless. WildBlue performed at the same level of excellence as it does on my

current operating system. At first I was completely unaware that I was testing in a new environment due to having DSL in previous testing.

High Speed Internet In An Economic Crisis

A Woman Shopping Online With High Speed InternetNow these are supposed to be “hard times” for Americans, economically speaking. Yet, as the price tag for any given item at the local store goes up the products are still being purchased here in the states.  Now don’t get me wrong, i’m all for supporting local business, but when it comes down to me either breaking the bank shopping locally or shopping somewhere else where the same items are cheaper, I’m picking my well being (call me selfish).

Overcoming Hard Times With High-Speed Internet

Overcome Hard Times With High Speed Internet

Single parents and low income families can now apply for benefits to receive food stamps, unemployment, student loans and just about every other kind of state or federally funded aide program via high speed Internet.  These kinds of programs can play a pivotal role in maintaining the well-being of a family in times of economic stress, and anyone who has had dealings with these agencies know all-to-well how much of a hassle it can be to go back and forth between offices (as their lines are always busy and lobbies forever full). This can be an especially daunting task when one lives in one of the millions of rural areas in America.

Cut Corners With High Speed Internet

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

High Speed Internet Service Can Make Life Much EasierThrough my years of strife and struggle I have come to realize an almost universal truth; most people would prefer to do as little as they can to obtain as much as possible.  Sure this sounds lazy, but it’s the American way.  People and companies alike are always trying to find the most efficient, easiest solution to any given problem.  That doesn’t mean cutting corners necessarily, it just means that we want to cut out any unnecessary steps involved in the process. For example, a person who buys and sells on ebay for a living but doesn’t have access to a high speed connection has a couple choices: either drive down to a WIFI hot-spot somewhere in town and essentially work from their car ( which cost gas money, is probably uncomfortable, and is maybe even a little degrading). Or they could visit mybluedish.com, who provides high speed Internet to the rural areas of America, talk to a representative on the telephone about the specifics, and set a date to have their own high speed connection installed at their home.  This will, I promise you, increase your productivity and by having a high speed connection at home one would be more inclined to further research other avenues of financial gain just because it’s now there at home and not many miles away.  Buying and selling products on ebay is just one example of the many possibilities available to make money on the Internet.  Having access to high speed Internet can open up a world of financial opportunity.

Satellite Internet Service Around The World

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

In light of recent legislation and President Obama’s plan to create a better broadband network for rural Americans I have decided to start a series dedicated to satellite broadband networks in other countries.  Today, we will take a look at what Japan is doing with their satellite internet technology.  Japan is unique to the U.S. in that it suffers a significantly larger amount of earthquakes.  Therefore, it is very important for the country to have a communication infrastructure that can withstand such major natural disasters.  Also unlike the United States the Japanese Government directly funds their satellite internet networks.  A couple years ago Japan launched what was known as the KIZUNA satellite, with the primary intent of creating a backup high-speed internet networking system that would replace its ground network during natural disasters.  As it turns out this satellite is quite capable of facilitating a stand-alone high speed internet network.  This satellite contains two antennas, one of which will be dedicated to other Asian countries and will permit high-speed internet communications via satellite between Japan and neighboring countries.  Of course the other antenna is dedicated to serving Japan.  Dividing the satellite into two multibeam antennas allows it to efficiently divide up the satellite’s signal so that the limited frequencies can be made available and reused by many different areas.  This new satellite will provide high-speed internet with download speeds of 155mbps and upload speeds of 6mbps.  The satellite will be able to provide download speeds of up to 1.2gbps to commercial customers.  These types of speeds are significantly faster than what even today’s fiber optics internet networks can provide and are unheard of speeds for the satellite internet industry.  In addition to functioning as a communication network backup system this new satellite internet service will also target Japan’s rural citizens that do not have access to the country’s fiber optic network and have been forced to receive internet service via DSL.
