A satellite due to launch in three years promises to expand high-speed Internet services to rural Americans who cannot get access through cable or phone companies.
ViaSat Inc. http://www.viasat.com/ bills its forthcoming ViaSat-1 satellite as the world's highest-capacity broadband satellite. The company said the new satellite should provide at least 10 times the capacity of those in orbit today, largely by using the spectrum more efficiently.
That means each customer could get faster speeds and more customers could be served in any given area, Chief Executive Mark Dankberg said.
