V Nemčiji naj bi začeli ponujati satelitski internet preko Astre 2C. Cena za osnovni paket (256kb/s) je 20€. Ker ponudnik Filiago posluje tudi s Slovenijo, bo stvar verjetno dosegljiva tudi pri nas.

SES ASTRA, an SES company (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange:
SESG), has launched its innovative broadband satellite service ASTRA
2Connect with Filiago as an anchor customer in Germany. Both companies
presented their cooperation at the international computer trade show CeBIT
in Hannover. Filiago will market the broadband internet access service to
end customers in Germany especially in regions without terrestrial
broadband access. The satellite-based DSL infrastructure is the only
possibility for these regions to access highspeed DSL-internet, thus
preventing a “digital divide” for homes in the countryside. According to
official data from the German Ministry for Economy and Technology at least
2.9 million German homes still do not have any access to Broadband
Internet.
The end user equipment - necessary to use the service - consists of an
interactive satellite antenna as well as a low-cost and easy-to-install
satellite modem. The costs for the internet access range from 19.95 Euro to
49.95 Euro for a 256 kbit/s, 512 kbit/s or 1024 kbit/s flatrate plus a
registration fee of 99.95 Euro. The hardware equipment can be either
purchased for 319.95 Euro or leased for 9.95 Euro per month.
ASTRA2Connect will also support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
services. |
