Could you give any info about wireless transmission especifically satellite transmission.

...

Thank you and I desperately need your help.

Well lets see, what kind of government budget are you working with or are just indepentantly wealthy?

It takes lots o' money to get setup in satellite transmission unless you just want to receive the info then that is as cheap as getting a used dish and the equipment to go with it. If you plan to transmit, then the good ol' boys of the FCC will want your money for a license. Then there are zoning laws to check into, construction permits, concret to pour, power for it, and oh a wife that will put up with it in the yard.

Wow, and all I have to do is setup my DirectPC dish and pay about $150/mo. for 400K (max) down-link bandwidth, though I do need some mechanism to transmit my data out, a regular modem works with the standard software. ____________________________________________________________________ To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.
