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.

Underway is god-awful expensive to use.


But some do have the doe for it. I've just set up a linux router on a yacht,
offering internet to all PC's aboard (12+) through two MPDS satellite
systems, one ISDN and one GSM for near-coast access. Wouldn't like to pay
their monthly bill though....
