Has anyone heard of companies offering Broadband for boats?

Do you mean in a marina or while underway? Right now I think the closest
to full worldwide coverage at broadband speed is Tracnet. KVH have
a nice website that includes that includes good info, coverage maps and
airtime pricing: http://www.kvh.com/MarineSat/index.asp?flash=yes.

Inmarsat are launching their next generation satellites this year and next
(Inmarsat4) that I think will provide wider coverage but I have no idea
what the speed and pricing is likely to be on that.
