[LUG] (slightly OT) Sat. and wireless broadband

[dan prisk <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey

	As pretty much everyone on here is well aware broadband is not readily 
available in Cornwall at the moment. So once again I have started looking 
into Satellite broadband. I've also, just recently come across the various 
companie who are starting up community based broadband projects, which is a 
really nice idea. 

	Satellite and wireless broadband is still something of a mystery to me 
however, and I really have no idea about the compnies involved in it. So I 
was wondering if anyone on here has any experience in the matter and could 
point me at one of the better companies or something. I'm ideally looking for 
2 way with linux compatability and static IP.

	I found what seems to be a good list over at the Rabbit-broadband* page but I 
really don't know which of the companies are worthwhile!

http://www.rabbit-broadband.org.uk/solutions/index.asp

	Any help appreciated.

		Dan


*Rabbit-broadband being a rather cool initiative to subsidise rural companies 
to get broadband where ADSL isn't available.
