We use satellite here and get it over 45Mb/s easy (although that is across a lot of customers rather than between just 2 hosts). However considering leased lines are cheaper in this part of the world than satellite I can't imagine it's a cheap option in the central US. By the time you add the price of the circuit to the uplink site, and the rental of 45Mb/s worth of carrier ( just how cheap do you think enough carrier space for 4-45 (choose your compression) TV channels to everywhere in North America is? ) and other costs ( mosts local govts don't just let you chuck up 4M sat dishes without a permit) I can't image satellite is an option. Look at some of the other options people have outlined here (especially moving the information via truck/motorbike/helo) and go back to the client and discuss what they really want to do. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: [email protected] Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: [email protected] ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
