[ILUG] broadband access...

[Smith, Graham - Computing Technician]

I think for many people on this list, the latency could be 
even more of an issue for doing remote administration stuff 
- telnet and ssh, various tunnelling stuff and remote X or 
vnc etc etc. 

I think is a market for people who are less concerned with
speed of access, but more anxious to have an always on 
connection. Personally i'd rather have 9600 bps always on
than 56k dialup....  I dont think i could live with satelite's
latency - i dont think its really usable for stuff like ssh
and the other stuff i mentioned...
