Latency is definately a problem (those satellites are a LONG way from you), and remember that the satellite is one-way, ie., only your downloads will be fast, the upload portion is still done via modem over your telephone line. Unless, that is, you have a satellite uplink, which I think would be out of the average millionaires price range. Gary
