"Anyone who can see the southern sky CAN get broadband now by satellite."
Yes...I use Direcway. It's a great service...just don't expect too much whenever it rains.

So we have to subsidize farmers' kids surfing porn and downloading illegal songs, software and movies? Wonderful.
Of course, funded by the government no less. My local telephone company is my local internet provider and they've been providing ADSL to the cities they serve for years now. Broadband for what it's worth hasn't given me any incentive to move into town. The phone company and electric company know me personally, and if I have a gripe with either one, they're right on top of it the moment I speak up. I can't say that about the internet provider. The tech support is a couple of incompetant rubes. I've actually solved more customer problems than they have. It's how I make a living.
Thanks for the information. Good post.
Here's an idea:
Let companies decide where they will provide service, and let people decide where they will live!
Why spoil freedom with governments forcibly taking money from some people to give to others?
Should we transfer some of the peace and quiet enjoyed by the rural folks to the cities, just to make THAT fair, too?
