WildBlue, NRTC Prepare for June Debut
WildBlue said it will introduce its much-anticipated satellite broadband service in June, and among the first to get a chance to sell the offering will be approximately 300 members with the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative.

Those NRTC telephone and electric organizations serve predominantly rural communities. In addition to selling WildBlue, numerous NRTC members still sell DirecTV, and the cooperative plans to unveil a product that will combine both services.

To help promote the service, WildBlue unveiled at NRTC's InfoComm 2005 this week in Las Vegas a mobile showroom called "Speedy." The trailer will travel around the country at fairs, events and other public gatherings, and will be available to NRTC's WildBlue members.

WildBlue will sell for as little as $49.95 per month, and the service will have multiple service packages including the Pro Pak with download speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps. WildBlue will initially offer equipment to customers for $299 and installation for $179.95.

As part of NRTC's introduction of WildBlue service, participating NRTC members will offer free installation, WildBlue said.
