WildBlue is offering satellite internet service again...

After some down-time, and the launch of another satellite, WildBlue is now accepting more customers.

WildBlue provides broadband Internet access via satellite to homes and small businesses in rural areas that are not currently served, or underserved, by other high-speed providers. WildBlue launched commercial service via the Anik F2 satellite in June of 2005, and currently has over 130,000 customers nationwide. They had run into some capacity issues with their existing satellite.

Recently, WildBlue Communications began offering Internet access services using its new Ka-band spot beam satellite, WildBlue-1. The new satellite allows WildBlue to more than triple its customer capacity, making high-speed Internet service available to more than 750,000 rural consumers throughout the continental United States.

The new WildBlue-1, which was launched in December 2006 aboard Arianespace's Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana, is a 4.7 metric ton high-power satellite based on Space Systems/Loral's 1300 spacecraft bus. It provides Ka-band spot beam capacity over the contiguous United States. Spot beam Ka-band satellites are a key component in WildBlue's low-cost wireless broadband infrastructure.
