Now Satellite Internet is not some thing new, Has US army use Satellite Internet has they don't find internet every where they go. But Satellite Internet is useless for people who live in cities or where they can find internet but its for peoples who live in a place where internet is not available or where it will take a long time to get Broadband internet, so this peoples can use satellite dish to track the satellite which provide's internet and use a Satellite Modem which can send and receive Data from the Satellite
