Broadband Via Satellite delivers high-speed transmission of data, voice, and video signals over one medium. Broadband can include high-speed Internet services that can be delivered to offices, homes, and businesses. There are many satellite companies, which are providing Internet Broadband Via Satellite such as DIRECTV, DISH Network, Pegasus Communications, and Starband. Also, look for several satellite companies to offer high-speed Internet Via Satellite in 2002 using the Ka-band, which should allow for even higher speeds.

Because of satellite's ever-present national footprint, Satellite Broadband Internet can serve any area as long as the household or business has a line of sight to the satellites. Unlike cable and DSL, Satellite Broadband Internet is not limited to serve any geographical location. Although rural America served as the core area of early satellite adapters, recent survey information shows that 70% of new satellite television subscribers come from areas where cable is available, which indicates that satellite is increasing its suburban and urban penetration. With respect to Satellite Broadband Internet, the need for true broadband access is going to be increasingly important regardless of where you live.

Plus points about Broadband Via Satellite service include:

The ability to send and receive multimedia data in large volumes despite geographic and infrastructure constraints.
A two way Satellite Broadband Internet service which can serve customers quickly, avoid congestion, and offer lots of network connection points, as required with terrestrial broadband services. The important thing is that it can use bandwidth efficiently.
Simultaneous Multiple Network Roles
Last-mile (direct-to-user) and transport network (trunking / backbone or content distribution platform)
Multicasting* and Unicasting**

Internet Broadband Via Satellite requires a singular satellite dish; the same dish can be used for both satellite television and satellite Internet. Internet via satellite provides the consumer with connection speeds comparable or superior to DSL and cable modems, and for a price that is competitive to other Internet services. Since satellites beam content to subscribers simultaneously, the user should not experience any slow-downs or interruptions in service. Two-way Broadband Via Satellite is unique in that it can provide Internet service to anywhere in the country, which makes it an ideal product for consumers living in rural or underserved areas. Furthermore, two-way satellite is “always on” because it does not require the use of a phone line.

Eligible practices and ACCHS will be responsible for selecting their preferred qualified service (taking into account service prices and subsidy levels). Information about qualified services can be found by visiting

The type of qualified broadband service available to you will depend upon where your general practice or ACCHS is located. For example, remote areas may need to access Satellite Broadband Internet while those in urban and metropolitan are more likely to have the opportunity to use ADSL technologies.

Satellite Broadband is a good option to get broadband connection where available for core areas of the country as well as urban areas so it can cover all the areas of state. In general terms the subsidy level will be designed to meet the costs of an economical, quality, broadband technology option available in your area – this will allow all general practices and ACCHS to enjoy the benefits of the BFH program. Where both satellite and standard ADSL options are available in your area, the subsidy will generally be paid at the non-satellite option level. A higher subsidy may be attracted for a satellite service if the qualified service provider confirms that they are unable to make other options available to you.

*Multicasting is sending data to internet service users using the same bandwidth
**Unicasting means sending data to internet users according to the demand of each individual
