Many people take high speed internet services for granted. It is not until a new service becomes available that the average person gets an idea of what type of technological leap is involved with every bit of progress.

Even if the Internet isn’t available at home, there are cyber cafes in most cities and towns. If not, most public libraries offer free Internet access.Which brings the question: Do places with no access to the Internet exist?Thanks to a technology called satellite broadband, the Internet is available in almost every corner of the world. In fact, satellite coverage extends all the way to the polar regions of the globe.So, how does it work? It functions in a very similar fashion to satellite television. In short, computers connected to this broadband receive their signal from satellites orbiting Earth. The intent of satellite television was to bring television into the homes of people where cable wires did not reach. The goal is the same with the...more
