Battery powered so you can work off a laptop in the jungle to the desert. In the arctic (and presumably the antarctic but I have not been there with it) the battery life is short, maybe an hour, but frankly at -40 I don't like to type with mittens on.<BR/><BR/>They run about $2000 to buy and then no monthly rental. <BR/><BR/>Not as bad ($) as a true inmarsat connection but reasonable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-64603283588732331442007-07-21T08:32:00.000-04:002007-07-21T08:32:00.000-04:00You know, if I was a real sadistic bastard, I migh...You know, if I was a real sadistic bastard, I might point out that some 75 year old woman in Sweden just got a 40Gigabit Internet connection..<BR/><BR/>But I wouldn't do that. Nope, nope, nope.<BR/><BR/>And Tam, I share your pain - every block in the neighborhood now has FiOS available... EXCEPT MINE. I lust after that fast Fiber connection so bad I can taste it, yet Verizon mocks me with availability just out of reach.
