It's a lie. So-called "natioanl providers" have largely concentrated on urban areas, where they can reap the most. If Wildblue is anything like Starband, I'll be pretty irate, and end up eating the $299 install fee. So far, I haven't seen any demonstration site for Wildblue around these parts. Having been to a Starband demonstration, I wasn't at all impressed. My 56k dialup was much faster.
