Micronet has announced the introduction of several new one-way broadband satellite packages, offering speeds of up to 5Mbps (downstream). Prices are based on a choice of either a Wi-Fi style credit quota or monthly (max £39.99 per month) model:


Typically one-way services require a separate connection to manage the upstream transfer, which is usually governed by a dialup modem or ISDN line. In the above service it's also possible to use your mobile phone, which is something we haven't seen before.

Unfortunately hardware prices range from a comparatively cheap (this is Satellite after all) £195 to the crazy heights of £1,800.
