High
speed satellite Internet for Students
About two weeks ago, I made the decision to expose you to the
new technology of high speed, low cost, satellite internet
connectivity. I was a bit hesitant as well as aware that
there might be some rejection related
to somewhat strict rules governing
listserves. I have adhered to these
rules for quite some time during my tenure on the internet, and
hope that you can see the productive
intent behind my using this media to
get your attention. I assure you that I mean no disobedient
intrusion, only an attempt to make you
cognizant of some very real and meaningful
opportunities for you to take the lead role in
progressive teaching methods.
What is offered for your consideration is absolutely cutting
edge technology.
We could be spending our time marketing the direcPC
satellite connectivity
to the retail buyer to improve his speed to 400Kbps via
the TurboInternet
product. We could further be encouraging him to take
advantage of the 3Mbps speed by
caching his data (the technique for data
content management)
for obvious motives of profitability. Naturally,
when one is dealing in the marketing
of a product, costs will be involved. But, I want to
emphasize at this time that although costs are to be
considered, there
is something that demands attention on a higher scale.
How can we utilize the incredible
ability and potential of the Internet for
education? In our opinion, we
have devised a solution for this question
that is the best that technology will allow to date. The
key to maximizing the power of the
Internet rests in the ability to send and
receive data in a manageable form.
