Customer Testimonials Your's Can Be Next! "I want to thank you for directing me to SkyWay USA High Speed Internet service for our lake house. The technical and support staff did a great job of walking me through the setup and went above and beyond to help me install a wireless router. I have been using SkyWay USA for about a month now and have had no incidence with service, it works! P.S. The best part is using Remote Access to log on to my work computer so no one knows if I am in the office or at the lake. I will leverage that hidden bonus!" -- Ron T "I'm very pleased with our Skyway USA connection. The download speed has been consistent. Thanks for the great service!" -- Martin K "After speaking with customer service on Sunday, October 21st, I would like to request an upgrade to the Silver Plus Plan. I am currently enrolled in the Bronze. The sooner this can be implemented, the happier I will be...Thank you for your quick action in advance. BTW, I love my Skyway! Has rained, and/or stormed almost every day since I installed, and it hasn't affected by surfing speed at all. My neighbor [who uses a different satellite internet provider] has hardly been up for the last three weeks, tee hee! My sister's [satellite internet provider] at her workplace has been down for the last seven weeks; evidently they can't figure it out. She was going to sign up with them; she'll be going with SkyWay USA instead." -- Michael H "I was amazed by your speedy delivery and efficient set-up, and was astounded by your tech support after the sale. We love the high speed and reliable access that we now have with SkyWay USA." -- Mike C "I would like to tell you that I am very pleased with this service so far. The speed is unreal to me, a long time dial-up sufferer, everything loads so quick. And the customer support in setting up the last few tweaks was so helpful. Anyway thanks for making fast Internet available without the loss of any limbs, like an arm or leg, in the process." -- Bobby P "I've had your service for 8 months now and I just wanted to tell you that you are a great Internet provider, especially with your new satellite. We installed it ourselves and our speed and customer service has been very good." -- Otto N "If you are tired of dial-up, or slow connection, let me tell you about SkyWay USA. I've tried just about every dial-up available. There's no DSL or high speed internet available where I live. So the only choice I had was to go with Satellite Internet. After deciding to go with Satellite Internet, I started checking out all my options. I talked with a few other companies but wasn't happy with the answers I was getting. I saw the Ad for SkyWay USA in our local paper and decided to call. I'm so happy that I did. When I called, I talked to a representative name Scott. I told him what I was looking for and asked question after question. He patiently answered every question I had. After talking with Scott I was still undecided. We talked several times over the next week; I had so many questions and was a little apprehensive about making such a big change. He never tried to push me into anything. He told me that he was sure I would be happy with the change. After deciding to try SkyWay USA, I have only one thing to say, Scott was right, I'm amazed at how fast it really is! I never want to go back to dial-up again. I'm very happy with SkyWay USA. You can tell that they really care about their customers. Scott went above and beyond the call of duty. I want to thank everyone at SkyWay USA for making my life a little easier and a lot faster. If there's any one out there who is as apprehensive as I was, I urge you all to try SkyWay USA." --Helen T (800) 761-9149 info@bbinabox.com There is now no reason your rural subscribers should go without broadband.

…While Allowing it to Maintain its “Mom and Pop” Sentiment



Dresden, TN - When E.T. Reavis first started his small clothing store on the Dresden town square back in 1890, the words “World Wide Web” didn’t quite have the same significance that they do today.

Fast forward nearly 120 years, and those three words have helped his quaint family-owned business reach beyond the 2,800 people that live in Dresden to the more than 300 million people that live across the United States.

These days, the store is run by E.T.’s great-grandchildren, Tom, Martha and Carol. Tom admits taking the family business online originally started as just a sideline to the store itself, but when they saw how their hard-to-find and specialty items caught the attention of Internet shoppers, an entirely new business was born. “People’s shopping habits have changed dramatically over the last five years,” says Tom. “A few clicks and two or three minutes and a person can have just about anything they want.”

One particularly popular item E.T. Reavis and Son has to offer is, in grand Southern tradition, overalls. The store features unique styles and sizes (sizes range from 6 months to a 74 waist) that the larger, well-known department stores don’t carry anymore. “I get calls all the time from people saying ‘Wal-Mart used to carry these, but they changed to another brand,’” says Tom.

The store’s distinctive items have caught the attention of everyone from the History Channel to the Minnesota Timberwolves. And with 90% of their revenue now coming from online sales, the company shows no signs of slowing down. Transitioning with the times by moving his business to the Internet literally changed the course of Tom’s entire business. “The Internet has relieved me of competition locally,” he says. “Instead of having to rely on the local economy for sales, I rely on the whole United States.”

And the United States delivers. “We have customers from Maine to California, Alaska to Hawaii,” says Tom.

Their popularity comes as no surprise. Just one visit to the E.T. Reavis and Son website and their number one motto is clear:

“If you are ever in the Dresden area of Northwest Tennessee, please come by and visit. We would love to meet you.”

Economic stimulus package: $6 billion for broadband

The $825 billion economic stimulus proposal includes $6 billion for improving U.S. broadband infrastructure - but no tax breaks.

A summary of the proposed spending released by House Democrats calls for the money to be used for "broadband and wireless grants in under-served areas to strengthen the economy and provide business and job opportunities in every section of America, with benefits to e-commerce, education, and health care. For every dollar invested in broadband, the economy sees a ten-fold return on that investment."

Phone and cable companies were hoping and lobbying for tax breaks, but the wireless industry considers the proposal a win since they wanted to be included in any broadband stimulus program.

Earlier in the week, Obama transition team member Blair Levin said that any monies which came from the economic stimulus package would likely use "existing structures" and programs to get money pumped into the economy in a timely fashion. The Wall Street Journal has tallied up a list of existing programs and departments that might be handing out the cash, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Broadband Loan and Guarantee Program, the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and possible a one-time shot into the FCC's Universal Service Fund mechanism.

Public interest groups were hoping upwards of $44 billion to be spent, but $6 billion is a good start for Free Press - so long as tax dollars aren't used to fund "closed, proprietary networks that shut out content providers, control consumer behavior and encourage anticompetitive activity." Well! Free Press wants strings, including "mandatory requirements" to insure non-discrimination (i.e. Net Neutrality).

There's also likely to be a brewing dog fight over the definition of what broadband should be, with some companies and public interest groups calling for 100 Mbps download speeds, while others might be content to see a modest 10-50 Mbps download speed. Lower download speeds might allow Clearwire and other wireless broadband buildouts to fit in.

Tom... BBinaBox ROCKS... Installation was smooth, even the little compass works well... dish is extremely well made, kit is all-inclusive. I had my doubts about the little beeper -- it too, worked like a dream. I had nightmares about old [OMITTED] tweeking, twisting, pounding, praying and the like, and calling a support line that just rings and rings... your product is like a Cadillac -- not one single glitch.

Now that your head is swollen, and your ego larger than life -- this report is only going to get better. Your signal is (like you said it would be) is HUGE in this area. And at 47 degrees, it's above the trees -- and we have lots of those. 'Worked flawlessly with IKANO dialup, even on a crappy phone line. 'Ran it wireless on a Cisco elcheepo router -- once again -- flawless. 'Tried it with UBUNTU Linux latest version -- it just smoked... and that's a real plus -- most of the Linux versions out there don't support modems very well... if at all.

I'm sold. Let me gather my thoughts on our pricing in our neck of the woods -- and what the little weekly newspapers are going to charge for ads. And let me munch on this for a day or two -- OH, and by the way, I showed it to my daughter Jane on her laptop -- and she thought is was DSL -- how 'bout them apples.

Talk to you soon...

Internet Providers Move to Shape Broadband Push

By AMOL SHARMA

President-elect Barack Obama's call to improve the nation's broadband infrastructure has cable and phone company lobbyists maneuvering to get a leg up.

Lawmakers in Congress want a plan that will create jobs over the next two to three years while also tackling the longer-term goal of improving the availability and quality of high-speed Web access in the U.S. The U.S. has slipped to 15th from fourth place since 2001 in broadband penetration, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Advocates say broadband deployment is critical to the competitiveness of the U.S. economy.

Among the issues are what speed Congress should define as broadband and whether government money should be funneled only to areas that have no broadband access, or if it should also subsidize upgrades to existing networks.

Policies under serious consideration are corporate tax credits to build new wireless or landline infrastructure, government-backed broadband "bonds" and grants to companies or local governments, legislative aides and lobbyists close to the process say. There also is strong agreement that low-income consumers need to be encouraged to sign up for broadband -- for example, through vouchers to purchase computers or discounts on monthly service.

Senate Finance Committee and Commerce Committee members are drawing up a few options, as are House members such as California Rep. Anna Eshoo and Massachusetts Rep. Ed Markey, chairman of the telecommunications subcommittee. The Obama transition team's point person has been former Federal Communications Commission chief of staff Blair Levin.

"There aren't any quarrels about the need for more broadband," says Ms. Eshoo, who outlined a series of broadband stimulus options in a memo to the House leadership in October. "It's a matter of how we're going to do it and the actual language."

The Obama transition team declined to comment.

Large cable operators are seeking to increase the FCC's definition of broadband download speed to about five megabits per second, about 6½ times as fast as the current definition, according to people familiar with the situation. Internet-service providers building out "unserved" regions, where service of that speed isn't available, would be given the full benefit of tax incentives or grants.

The big cable providers also want to target "underserved" areas, where there is only one broadband provider or the service isn't widely available. In those markets, companies would get incentives to build out next-generation services. The download speed that would qualify as next-generation would likely be in the range of 40 to 50 megabits per second, people involved in the discussions say.

The cable plan would disadvantage phone companies, especially smaller ones whose digital-subscriber-line services are slower than cable modems. The Independent Telephone and Telecommunications Alliance, which represents midsize phone companies, is pushing for a slower broadband standard, in the range of 1.5 to three megabits per second. Curt Stamp, the group's president, says the federal largesse should be used to subsidize carrier investments in rural areas rather than to finance upgrades to their existing networks.

Wireless services will likely be able to qualify as broadband at a slower download speed than landline services. But if the mark is set above two megabits per second it could be a boost for Clearwire Corp., a start-up operator that is rolling out a WiMax network capable of download speeds of two to four megabits per second. Other carriers weren't planning major wireless upgrades until at least 2010.

Equipment makers such as Cisco Systems Inc. and Motorola Inc. stand to benefit if carriers undertake massive upgrades. Carl Russo, CEO of Calix, which supplies equipment to phone and cable providers, says Congress should define broadband as 10 megabits per second so the networks it builds now will be able to support bandwidth-hogging applications of the future, such as high-definition video.

"Remember, you only get to do this once, so you want to build the widest highway possible," Mr. Russo says. The Telecommunications Industry Association, which represents equipment makers, is pushing for a $25 billion grant program for Internet service providers. Under another proposal that is being discussed, grants could go to state and municipal authorities, which would build high-speed networks and then open them up to competing service providers. That would likely meet with considerable resistance from large carriers like Verizon Communications Inc., which have challenged attempts by local governments to build and operate their own wireless or high-speed fiber networks.

Steve Davis, senior vice president of policy for Qwest Communications International Inc., says the big phone company wouldn't object to public broadband projects in areas that currently have no high-speed Internet service, provided private operators have a right of first refusal in building the networks. "The first place the government should look is to the industry," Mr. Davis says.

Meanwhile, outside groups are offering various proposals to Congress. Consumer advocacy group Free Press released a 31-page broadband-stimulus proposal that calls for a $44 billion investment in Internet services over three years, much of which would be funneled through the FCC's existing Universal Service Fund, which subsidizes telephone services in rural areas and for low-income people.

Public-interest groups are clamoring for conditions to be imposed on carriers that receive tax credits, such as pledges not to degrade any Internet traffic, a principle referred to as "net neutrality."

EchoStar Pitches Telco TV Package

This is exactly what our partners need to provide triple play to 100% of their customers and beyond!

EchoStar Pitches Telco TV Package
NOVEMBER 13, 2008
Discuss >

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- TelcoTV -- Well, folks, it looks like satellite TV figurehead Charlie Ergen, chairman and CEO of Dish Network Corp. , has his hungry eyes on a slice of the IPTV systems market too.

EchoStar Technologies LLC, the set-top and technology unit that split off from Dish Network early this year, is branching further into the telco world with a strategy centered on an all-MPEG-4 video satellite-fed distribution system and an integrated "turn-key" play that bundles in EchoStar's own IPTV set-tops, middleware, and conditional access (CA) system. (See EchoStar Ready to Split.)

EchoStar is pitching the concept to Tier 2 and Tier 3 telcos, though it could also be suitable for cable operators that migrate to IPTV platforms.

The video transport part of the package, introduced in 2007 under the VIP-TV banner, will compete head on with Avail Media Inc. and SES Americom 's IP Prime service. (See EchoStar Unveils ViP-TV.)

VIP-TV's present "proposed" programming transport channel lineup comprises 300 video and music channels. More than 40 are in high definition. Here's what VIP-TV GM Dan Daines told LRTV about it in July:

EchoStar is combining that offering with a more extensive IPTV platform that uses the NagraStar conditional access system (from the Dish-Nagravision SA joint venture), and EchoStar's own middleware and interactive program guide. EchoStar is also in discussions regarding the integration of conditional access systems from other IPTV players, including Latens Systems Ltd. , Verimatrix Inc. , and Widevine Technologies Inc. , according to EchoStar VP of sales and marketing Michael Hawkey.

EchoStar has also developed two IPTV set-tops: an HD-DVR box that can tune to two televisions or provide picture-in-picture in one TV; and a lower-end high-definition box, though this can be converted into a DVR by linking it to an external storage device with USB 2.0 connections.

Although the VIP-TV transport service is ready to roll now, the other turn-key elements should start to enter lab trials early next year, Hawkey says.

But how does EchoStar expect to stand out in a crowded field? Hawkey thinks telcos will give EchoStar more than a look because it's basing everything on an integrated system that's been "tried and tested" to millions of customers: That's a reference to the technology base used by Dish Network.

Beyond that, EchoStar is also looking to add more advanced features, including multi-room DVR functionality and some place-shifting applications from its Sling Media Inc. division.

If all that strategy sounds familiar, it should. EchoStar is also trying to win business in the cable industry with set-tops that use the tru2way platform. The company has acknowledged that winning cable's trust will be a significant challenge, but remains confident MSOs will give EchoStar a shot if the tech firm can offer competitive pricing and advanced product feature sets. (See EchoStar Blazing Way to Tru2way .)

While conducting a search with the key words "losing dial up subscribers to satellite" this morning I found a listing from our partner in Kansas, Valnet.Net listed at #7 in the natural rankings! Way to go Don B. and crew! You can't BUY exposure like that! Seriously, you can't and the smart folks at Valnet.Net know that and are working night and day to take the best care of their last mile subscribers.

Satellite

Valnet is pleased to now offer satellite Internet access!

Completing our portfolio of broadband access solutions, satellite service offers a broadband access platform to provide services in areas where DSL or Wireless access are not available. Valnet satellite broadband is available at any location with a good view of the southern sky. Our satellite is located just west of DISH Networks' satellite, so if you can get DISH TV, you can get Valnet satellite broadband Internet access.

How does it work?

Valnet satellite Internet access is a unidirectional satellite system, which uses a regular 56K modem uplink. There are many misconceptions about satellite internet access, and one of those misconceptions is that bidirectional satellite systems are superior to unidirectional systems - in fact, quite the opposite is true! By utilizing a PSTN uplink for outbound requests (which require very little bandwidth) the time it takes for your request to reach its' destination is significantly lower - this translates into less time delay between when you click on a link, and the page is displayed in your web browser. This is called "latency" and our system is about twice as fast as a typical bidirectional satellite system in this regard. The second major advantage of our unidirectional system comes from its' capabilities to continue to provide you with basic dialup level Iinternet access in the event that you lose satellite signal, with absolutely no configuration changes on your part. The SW-20 PSTN satellite modem automatically fails over to using the built-in dialup connection in the event that severe weather blocks the satellite signal to your location. You get the best of both worlds with Valnet satellite Internet access: time-sensitive outbound requests go over the best available option (Dialup), while bandwidth sensitive downloads come over the high speed satellite link.

Performance

Satellite internet services is about downstream performance - the majority of home users use predominantly downstream access - downloading email, watching YouTube videos, downloading software updates, and other such activities.

Downstream connectivity with Valnet satellite services are available in several speed tiers: 512kbps, 768kbps, and 1500kbps. Most users find themselves most satisfied with 768kbps service.

Uplink speed on all tiers of satellite service are limited by your dialup connection. Maximum connection speed is 53kbps, but typical connections are generally between 24kbps and 28.8kbps - dependent on your phone line.

As with ALL satellite services Valnet satellite broadband access has download thresholds as defined by the Reasonable Use Policy (RUP), which have been implemented to provide fair access to all subscribers. These thresholds provide a graceful degradation of available bandwidth based on actual usage and do NOT interrupt your service at any point. Should your usage exeed that in the RUP, performance is limited based on actual usage, to a minimum level outlined in the table below.

Each service tier has its' own threshold assigned that limits the amount of data that may be downloaded during a normal day. Special network management software tracks the daily utilization of each subscriber. We maintain your download threshold using a 30 day rolling average so that one day of large usage usually has no immediate affect on service. The RUP prevents the network from being overloaded by a small number of bandwidth-intensive subscribers.

The download threshold still allows subscribers using large amounts of bandwidth to complete the download of their data. However, "power-users" will experience download speed reductions until such time that their usage conforms to average usage patterns as defined by the limits of the RUP. For subscribers wishing to avoid reduced download speeds, we suggest taking steps to ensure that your heaviest traffic takes advantage of the "Midnight Madness" policy: From 12am-6am daily, we suspend counting subscriber data against the RUP counters. Hence, large files can be downloaded during this time with no adverse effects or worry of reduced download speeds.

512kbps RUP Total Download Download Speed Level 1 1250MB 512kbps Level 2 2500MB 384kbps Level 3 3750MB 256kbps Level 4 5000MB 128kbps Level 5 6250MB 96kbps Level 6 6250MB+ 64kbps

768kbps RUP Total Download Download Speed Level 1 1500MB 768kbps Level 2 3000MB 576kbps Level 3 4500MB 384kbps Level 4 6000MB 128kbps Level 5 7500MB 96kbps Level 6 7500MB+ 64kbps

1500kbps RUP Total Download Download Speed Level 1 2500MB 1500kbps Level 2 5000MB 1120kbps Level 3 7500MB 768kbps Level 4 10000MB 384kbps Level 5 12000MB 192kbps Level 6 14000MB 128kbps Level 7 14000MB+ 64kbps

Pricing

Monthly charges vary based on the service level purchased. All service levels require a $300 satellite equipment package. The satellite equipment package includes: Satellite dish, Satellite dish mounting arm, SW-20 satellite modem, RG58 coax, outdoor RG58 grounding block, and Ethernet cable.

512kbps	$49.95
768kbps	$69.95
1500kbps	$79.95
Equipment	$300.00

As with our Wireless internet service, installation is free with equipment purchase, and we also offer our zero-APR lease-purchase allowing you the convenience of paying for your equipment package at $25 per month for the first twelve months of service.

Most importantly, as with all of Valnets' great services, all taxes and fees are included, and NO CONTRACT is require.

What else is included?

Valnet satellite Internet access accounts enjoy all of the same benefits as other Valnet access accounts, including:

• 10 E-Mail Accounts
• FREE E-Mail Virus & Spam blocking
• FREE Technical support
  
• 100MB Personal web space
• NO CONTRACT REQUIRED

Is there anything else I should know?

It's important to remember that, while satellite access is high speed access, it is still a satellite based service. Because of the inherent limitations in satellite based services there are some applications that simply will not work at all over a satellite internet access link, and others that may work at a degrated level. Some examples are:

• Voice over IP (VoIP)
• IP Television (IPTV)
• Delay sensitive online gaming (i.e. Unreal Tournament, Quake, World of Warcraft)

Another limitation of satellite technology is weather interferance. Unlike our wireless service, satellite service will be interrupted by rainstorms. This is a simple fact of physics - the radio signal to the satellite is blocked by the clouds. In these situations, your SW-20 satellite modem will continue to provide internet access through the dialup channel with no interaction on your part.

The SW-20 satellite modem included in the satellite service equipment package is designed to be attached to one PC, however any user may attach a broadband router suitable for use with any broadband service to the SW-20 satellite modem to attach any number of PC's to your satellite service. There is no additional charge for doing so.

How do I get service?

To get Valnet satellite service, fill out a Wireless Service Request. Because wireless service is superior to satellite service in terms of performance and cost, we offer Satellite service only where Wireless service is not available. If you feel that you would prefer satellite even though Wireless service is available, simply make a note of it on the service request.
