Tim A.--part of a satellite story: 20 April 1999 Tachyon, Inc., a San Diego-based satellite company, is set to launch what is claims is a unique broadband Internet access via satellite service in Europe and the U.S. this summer. The Tachyon.Net service is claimed to be unique, because according to Wim Vink, the European managing director of Tachyon, it will provide broadband access on both the up- and downlinks. The service promises connection to the Internet at speeds of up to 45 Mbps on the uplink and up to 256 kbps on the downlink. Tachyon plans to launch the service in the U.S. in July and in the U.K., Germany, Italy, France, Belgium and the Netherlands in Europe in August, but as of yet has not finalized any licensing agreements.
