CyberStar, which is a wholly owned subsidary of satellite giant Loral SkyNet, will use frequency space aboard Loral's Telstar 5 GEOS satellite to transmit high-speed customized Internet content to businesses, professionals and eventually home-based PC users in the United States. Eventually, the company envisions tying its DVB-compliant system with other GEOS satellites to offer global coverage. Services and Adaptec's hardware will rollout early in 1998 with an initial focus on vertical market uses. CyberStar plans to deliver "push-style" data aggregated from the Internet for a wide range of specific business interests. Initial CyberStar will target VARs who can help to focus services and marketing on business-to-business needs and professional users, such as lawyers and doctors. Adaptec will market its PCI-card kit called Satellite Express ABA-1040 through VARs, computer retailers and consumer electronics retailers. It is expectd to retail for about $300 with dealers left to bundle 18" dishes to recieve CyberStar signals at the point of sale. CyberStar said it plans to offer "push" style consumer data services with more entertainment oriented services in the second half of 1998. Consumer package subscription rates are expected to be about $50 per month. Vertical market and business-to-business fees will be based on usage. Push technology essentially allows users the ability to pick and choose favorite Web sites and or content from Web sites. The browser system then aggregates and updates information according to the desires of the user. Because of the wide bandwidth of the satellite delivery system (30 Mbits per second) information is relayed almost instantly cached in a PCs memory.
