try isky.net to avoid redirection This is indeed interesting! One thing I wonder about - since they uplink wireless, isn't this susceptible to hacker jamming? If they serve such a wide area, even with highly directive antennas to illuminate the continents, couldn't some idiot hackers jam a whole contenent's worth of service from anywhere?? Maybe I'm a bit parano, but it's one serious concern. You can't broadly jam terrestrial cellular wireless, and you'd be tracked down swiftly. I'll e-mail them and will let folks know anything I find out. I do have some communications background: around 1980 I was one of the first to have a home C-band satellite TV system, which I constructed myself (LNA, a variety of threshold extension demodulators, etc.) Those were the days, all simple analog and no encryption whatsoever!
