| 153750 | 2003-06-20 03:52:00 | Regarding Broadband access via satellite, its all one way (downlink) as its a real problem for every connection to have a transmitter. Receivers are reasonably straightforward, and they use normal dial-up for outgoing data. So its not as simple as ADSL over the phone system. Spectrum availability is a finite resource as well for wireless, and broadband wireless needs a reasonable amount. Broadband wireless is likely to dominate in rural flat areas, but unlikely to be a dominant technology in urban areas. ADSL can be used over power lines as well as phone lines, but as there are so few users that have power but no phone, the infrastructure will probably seldom be put in place for ADSL over power. Range is much shorter as well, only a few hundred metres vs 4 kM for phone ADSL Cable will only usually be run in denser urban areas due to costs. |
