Does anyone have any information concerning satellite internet connection from a company/system called APSTAR. I live in an up-country village that does not have landline telephone service and am interested in an alternative internet connection that doesn't require me to drive 70 KM to a city (Kolat) with landline phone service.

It's IPStar - just do a search for it and there a few threads talking about it...

I believe you can also find out about it at the CS Loxinfo website.

Here is a starting point
