- Pagesat provides full Usenet feeds via satellite.. With inexpensive equipment,
- you can receive approximately 50 megabytes of Usenet news daily. The system
- ensures that you get every newsgroup in the world that we can obtain via nntp.
- Thus you get the equivalent of multiple internet backbone feeds 24 hours every
- day of the week. No need to rely on multiple uucp connections which are
- inherently unreliable and have delays.
-
- Pagesat's Satellite Usenet service saves you telephone bills. It is secure.
- No one can break into your system over a satellite link. Enhanced services
- such as weather pictures from our real time downlink which are not distributed
- via Usenet will soon be posted, and plans are being made to develop other
- services as well.
-
- Over the last 7 months, Pagesat has proven to be a reliable service. Since
- Pagesat has FCC common carrier status, there will never be any censorship.
