Though it feels like years and years ago, the days of dial up connections are not that far gone. In fact, some people probably still use them. Sure, it was a few decades ago, but someone in their young 20s can easily remember the days of cutting out the phone line to wait for the dial up connection's buzz just to check your e-mail on AOL. Technology evolved to bring us Internet via television companies and special copper wires (more on that later) but it did not stop there. However, technology evolves rapidly and we are already onto the days of speedy wireless connections via satellite Internet broadband.
Satellite connections are beneficial because you are no longer dependent on your location for the Internet connection. You can receive the connection from across the country because, like a cell network, the Internet connection is coming from a distant location. It's so distant, in fact, that it is extra-terrestrial! The satellite Internet dish orbits around the Earth in outer space and works to transmit signals to various other dishes placed in strategic locations throughout the United States and abroad based on areas that are most populated with satellite broadband users. Satellite, though still relatively unpopular, is available throughout the majority of cities and zip codes in the United States and even most first world countries abroad. It expected to eventually surpass the other popular connections like cable and DSL Internet in terms of popularity and speediness of connections.
The history of satellite Internet is not unlike that of the creation of the Internet to begin with, though, no - Al Gore did not invent this, too! Satellite connections were initially developed for people living in more rural areas, who still had to rely on the horrible dial up connections and cut out phone lines. They were tired of relying on the tedious dial up connections and cable companies are not nearly as accommodating to smaller towns than they are to major cities. In addition, most Central Plains states do not have the proper infrastructure to support DSL, as they are lacking the copper wires needed to transmit signals via DSL. In the case of DSL, either you have it or you don't. Today, more and more rural areas have embraced satellite Internet as a new way to connect. Satellite providers were smart to tap into the underdeveloped DSL market in rural locations because, just like anyone else, they were likely frustrated with the slow and unreliable dial-up connections.
Now, cities and major office corporations are beginning to take heed and follow suit from the rural areas of the United States, which is kind of the opposite of what's expected. Everyone wants a better Internet connection to improve the quality of their lives and with satellite Internet, you can download and upload files, efficiently communicate through e-mail, browse the Web and transmit information the same way you would with DSL.
