    Broadband Satellite –
    A Key Component to Rural Coverage
     It’s available where you live:  Anywhere in the country – no matter 
        how remote 
     It’s available today:  No new infrastructure build-out requirement
     It’s fast, secure, reliable 
     High-throughput satellites have dramatically changed the 
        landscape
     We are going to more than double the available capacity in the 
        next 3 years
          Satellite broadband is the most cost-effective 
                solution for less densely populated areas
     The Satellite Broadband Industry should be included in 
      any program aimed at encouraging the deployment of 
                         broadband infrastructure.
