Streaming Video With Satellite Internet…Will It Work

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Streaming Video Via Satellite Internet ServiceIt seems that Netflix, Hulu, iTunes and so many more are competing for the next generation streaming video solution.  They all seem to see a future where TV is on demand whenever and ‘wherever’ you want it.  The ‘wherever’ part of that brings up an interesting concept.  For video to truly be available wherever you want it, a communications network will have to be in place that allows for such portability.  Most people think that wireless data communications is the solution to solving the portability problem.  However, those people are wrong.
