MCOM's distinction as THE WIRELESS LEADER... < I receive "wireless" satellite internet feed that is 200-400 Kbps via DISH right now. They will soon have a two-way system available so no phone line will be necessary... > But SOROS, uh, doesn't that dish get kind of heavy after carrying it around all day? (hee, hee, hee) Point being that in carrying the title of 'THE Wireless Leader', MCOM has the distinction of being the ONLY wireless service provider offering a roam anywhere, anytime, always on (i.e. flat fee) high bandwidth wireless service...NOW...at least in its chosen markets. It will be better understood with time, thecalculator

I receive "wireless" satellite internet feed that is 200-400 Kbps via DISH right now. They will soon have a two-way system available so no phone line will be necessary. Since October, MSN has offered a two-way dish broadband internet access. Only problem is they want you to buy their small computer for it. Total initial cost is about $1,000 and then $59 per month. Dealer expects them to drop the requirement of buying thier computer soon. Echostar is supposed to be supplying two-way broadband internet access now since Jan 1. They claim to have a problem producing enough systems. Total initial cost is $600. $59 per month, but cut to $49 if you carry their 150 channel TV also. I am on a list for one of these as soon as dealer gets one... BirdDog
