"Broadband use is usually using small amounts of spare capacity on satellite transponders"
E-bird is the first satellite that does not do this, the entire capacity of the satellite is simply dedicated to broadband (many similar satellites are also due for launch),
This allows Eutelsat to incorporate new satellite internet technology including new bandwidth managment features and masses of extra capacity compared to a satellite that uses small amounts of spare capacity on the transponder. This means that bandwidth on this satellite is much much cheaper and better managed, simply because there is so much of it. So this means millions more users who can use the service without it slowing to standstill.
Do you agree that this means great improvements for satellite broadband,
or
do you think it is an empty promise that will not prevail. give your reasons.
