  • About Steve Stroh

    In 1996, I was fascinated to discover that providing Internet Access via wireless technologies was not only possible, but being done routinely by a small band of pioneering Internet Service Providers. By mid-1997, I was writing professionally about Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA), first as a monthly columnist in Boardwatch Magazine.

    In 2000, I began writing about BWIA full time in my own blogs, for numerous other publications, and FOCUS On Broadband Wireless Internet Access, my subscription newsletter.

    From 2008 - 2015, I took a hiatus from writing about BWIA, but my interest in BWIA did not wane. In 2016, I was able to resume writing full time, and I formed Zero Retries to publish a family of subscription newsletters about Broadband Internet Access using various wireless technologies, not just fixed link terrestrial systems.bio page.

Why I Started Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) Satellite

Welcome to Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) Satellite!

I started BWIA Satellite because satellite provides a type of service that no terrestrial system can do - huge (continental) coverage footprints. As such, Broadband Internet Access via Satellite is definitely a part of the overall Broadband Wireless Internet Access industry.

Yes, Broadband Internet Access via satellite does have issues, including overall capacity, latency, and cost.

But it does work, and work well, especially the newest generations of satellite technology such as purpose-build satellites (such as what WildBlue is doing, and the newest generation of HughesNet satellites) and newer generations of satellite access terminals with better digital signal processing and link optimization.
