I have also installed alot of Wildblue, alot of times when I get to the customers house, there is a tower just across the road that has one of our transmitters on it. This is a touchy subject being that I'm a contractor. The fact is that a customer can get what they want for half the price and be happy.
N.R.T.C. was organized to provide rural telecommunications, thats what it stands for, "national rural telecommunications assosiation". Whew....that was a mouthful... anyway, they want to offer the best service to rural communities, but they fail to tell you what the best deal is because they put so much money into Wildblue. Wildblue is a great product, but very expensive. These little tiny wireless radios' are inexpensive, easy to install, maintain, and, the customer can actually troubleshoot from their computer "not that it needs any". I am posting this message from a wirless radio right now, and I plan on downloading some music later at 250meg. And I cant get D.S.L. huh??? Later, Red
