SWEET David by: Sattomatic 10493 of 10494 That VSAT price is not fully terminated. Gilat's setup also requires a double sat hop. So, final price more like $1 per minute with horrid quality. Go back to your bitter hole.

From the Forbes article: Schwartz hopes to get 15% of his business from sales of fixed-location phones in remote, unwired regions. But customers of Gilat Satellite Networks of Israel are already buying fixed phones tied to geostationary satellites (which hover 23,500 miles above the earth, versus 850 miles for Globalstar). The quality is uneven, but calls cost just 15 cents a minute. Posted: 8/24/1999 9:32 am EDT as a reply to: Msg 10471 by flp2_97
