Re: Alternative Satellite news feed needed
My cursory investigations reveal there is no apparent alternative to Cidera in the US right now. I'd be interested in talking to anyone who knows the technology behind uplinking a newsfeed in order to replace Cidera's news service. I'd guess there is a whole lot of infrastructure on the client end collecting dust as of today.

I have found a possible source of satellite bandwidth for this, assuming a critical mass of users could be accumulated to pay for it. Interested parties should send me an email off list please. Regards Marshall Eubanks

If a critical mass of users could be accumulated to pay for it, I imagine Cidera would still be in business. Is USENET still a cost-effective way to distribute porn and pirated software?

Must be, it seems to keep EasyNews, Newsfeeds.COM and the like in business...... /Alex Kiwerski -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Sean Donelan Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 11:57 AM To: Marshall Eubanks Cc: Pete Ashdown; nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: Alternative Satellite news feed needed On Thu, 2 Oct 2003, Marshall Eubanks wrote: parties

When I last looked into them in depth, which was a while ago (2001), they seemed very top heavy, set up to distribute streaming media over satellite for a market and price point that never materialized.

I have no clue. I just know that there is possibility to replace it. Anyone have any idea how many ISP's got the usenet feed ? Marshall
