In one sentence; Echostar announced that WebTV will now be available via satellite--as no phone line--as in no 56k modem slowdown"

Actually, this is only partially correct (assuming DISH has not invented the technology for every user to sent to the satellite). As with DirectTV's WebTV, only downloads come through the satellite. Users send messages over phone lines.
