"Satellite TV may not be considered broadband ....fast speed receiving, very slow speed transmitting...."
That apparently can be overcome. Many businesses today use Direct TV's sysem to receive and transmit financial data including processing credit card purchases and returns.
One day I complained to a store manager about the slowness of the response after I had run my credit card through for a purchase at a store which uses Direct to transmit and receive the credit card data.
He said the slowness was in the little printout machines and even in the cash registers which print out the data. Apparently, when they do day end and other summaries in their office, massive amounts of data are sent and received by their server in what the Manager said. He said that some stores transmit the data on DSL and receive it via satellite.
My knowledge of what actually goes on here is very small.
