| Satellite Technologies used for Broadband Service |
 |
 |
 Since satellite signals can cover large portions of the U.S. or may even cover all portions of the U.S., they are able to
provide services to isolated rural areas that may not receive service via cable or wireline, or even terrestrial wireless,
networks.
The ubiquity of satellite signals has long held the potential to deliver broadband communications anywhere and everywhere
in America. Satellite technology is capable of reaching every American no matter how rural or remotely located they might
be. Satellite entrepreneurs are developing strategies to package and resell satellite capacity to create communications services
that are economically and technologically within the reach of rural Americans and their farms and businesses.
