It's been awhile since we last heard anything on the trials of Tiscali's two-way digital broadband satellite ISP service,
Tiscalisat.
Unfortunately it's today been revealed that Tiscali has opted to delay the commercial roll-out until the trial, which lasted roughly one year, can be fully evaluated:
The pilot project - which involved 90 people - ended last week. ISP director Steve Horley said it could be three to six months before Tiscali UK goes ahead with the service, although this time-scale is not set in stone.
While the trial proved successful, it seems consumers were put-off somewhat by the up-front costs (around £600) of installing a satellite broadband service.
As a result, the ISP is looking at alternative products to see if other options can be found with lower up-front costs.Tiscali's service is similar in price and design to that of BTOpenworlds own two-way broadband satellite solution. More @
