I have discussed in previous articles the comparisons between satellite internet and wireless internet.  I thought it might be nice to expand upon those comparisons with mention of some of the newest technologies in both industries.  I have heard arguments that with the increasing adoption of 4g that there would be no question of whether or not wireless was the better option.  However, what people fail to realize is at the same time wireless is updating its technology satellite internet is also updating its technology.  The fact of the matter is that 4G is nowhere near main stream, and there are very very few wireless services that offer it in the United States.  In addition to this, there have been several reports that 4G is not a major step up from 3G.  Therefore, if on the very unlikely chance you are able to receive a 4G signal in your area it is most likely not going to be a huge improvement over 3G.  Now, we should compare this to the improvements being made in the satellite internet service industry.  WildBlue is releasing a new satellite into orbit with new technology developed from its parent company ViaSat.  This technology is going to increase download speeds from the current 1.5mbps to 10mbps.  In addition, this new technology involves processes that are much more cost efficient. So, it is likely to make satellite internet service cheaper for consumers in the long run.  When these aspects are compared from each industry there is no question that satellite internet is the better option.  However, one has to consider how the internet connection will be used.  If you are going to be traveling a lot or just seem to be on the move the majority of the time wireless internet will be a much more mobile option.  However, if you are going to be using the connection as a stationary in-home connection satellite internet is still by far the better option.
