18 Aug 2010 - 13:54 by soullezz Industry News |
Sat Broadband Boost: Satellite broadband is getting a push from Gilat's Spacenet subsidiary as it introduces its new StarBundle. The bundle offers satellite equipment and installation for $0 after a $150 mail-in rebate is applied, and is available with all new StarBand Nova services.
MSS Outlook: Mobile satellite services haven't exactly flourished during the past few years of global economic woes. But according to analysts at NSR, the industry generally held its own, growing a few percentage points in 2009. The future, however, could be bright, says NSR, as MSS/terrestrial plays show signs of taking off.
