Re: why doesn't satellite internet compete against cable and dsl
Latency is contributing factor for broadband applications. Many applications are time-sensitive and demand low-latency such as VPN's, VOIP, online gaming, remote desktop, x-windows, etc. and the demand for these apps are increasing.
If Satellite could offset some of these issues -- then it may be a viable option but in its current form is hardly a contender against other broadband options such as DSL, Cable or wireless.
Makes me wonder if IPV6 has any bearing or relevance on the challenges / limitations with Satellite.
I would think most users would toss Satellite Internet in the trash if there were other options available. Most other broadband options are also considerably cheaper. |
