TBI will sell HughesNet(R) broadband satellite solutions to businesses nationwide, complementing its terrestrial offerings
TBI has been a premier Master Agent for terrestrial telecom providers since 1991, selling Internet access, local and long distance telephone, and managed services. HughesNet Business Solutions will complement TBI's existing offerings, enabling TBI and its agents to bring broadband satellite connectivity to businesses beyond the reach of terrestrial connectivity, such as cable and DSL.
"Becoming a HughesNet Master Agent has opened up a new revenue stream and market segment for TBI," said
Available nationwide, HughesNet Business Solutions address a key need of many companies operating in areas that are underserved by terrestrial broadband--areas where T1 access is prohibitively expensive, and DSL and cable are not available. Analysts estimate that there are more than three million such underserved businesses in the U.S. And many of those with terrestrial broadband do not have a viable back-up solution in place when their landline connection fails, resulting in lost revenue and unhappy customers.
"To be successful in today's competitive marketplace, businesses need broadband, yet millions across the U.S. simply can't get terrestrial access," said
